Digging out rock and chunks of hard packed clay to make a garden takes a LOT of motivation...and a mattock.
And a strong back in unison with a weak mind...
My wife picked 1 1/2 gallons of raspberries and gave half away then she made me a Raspberry and Blueberry pie. At 77 our gardens are what get me out of bed in the morning. Well that and FR...
It’s easy to lose motivation when it rains every other day and you have to plant in MUD! ACK! The best week in May to plant, I was too busy, so here I am with only 13 tomato plants in the ground. My main garden bed had to be *mowed*, the weeds were so awful, and it was so muddy.
I may do some alternative plantings just to get stuff going. I’ve seen plantings IN bags of soil or potting mix, and I think I will do that. At least for some peppers. It won’t be pretty, but it will get us off the ground (literally).
