I’ve been working really hard in the garden this week trying to get it ready.  Really!  When we originally used a tractor to till up the garden, it was a little wetter underneath than it appeared, and we wound up with gobs and gobs of dirt clods.  If only hubby would’ve listened to me and tilled up two weeks earlier!  Ok, so that probably wouldn’t have made a difference either, but I can tease him about it!  So hubby broke out the tiller after it was good and dry, but our tiller decided to be broken.  Why on earth would it do that just when we needed it?  Anyway, my uncle brought his monster tiller over and fixed it right up.

Then I took a wide rake and made my paths and marked off the six areas.  

You can kinda see the paths in the picture.  I stayed up till 9:30pm one evening trying to beat the rain to get it all planted.  The only thing not planted are the pumpkin seeds and some lettuce that I need to transfer.  But the whole time I was planting my hubby and his brother were shaking their heads and telling me this garden plan won’t work.  We’ll see!  Doesn’t look like much now, but wait a couple of weeks!  Plants will be popping out of the ground like crazy!
