I Used To Have a Garden

Tweet

Yes, 8 or 9 years ago and for about 5 years before that, I had a garden to behold!

Here it is just waiting to be planted.

Of course I had a nice Troybilt rototiller to help me.

I did it all mostly by myself.

Beautiful right?

I had enough vegetables for everyone!!!

I slowly realized that:

#1.  I didn't need one that big.

#2.  I was getting too old to do that all by myself!

I didn't have any garden for a couple years when Jack was sick and it quickly all grew over in weeds.

Sad.

But, the past couple years I have had a small 4X8 ft raised bed that my brother-in-law built for me. 

I plant it with just a few things.

My handyman, Kerry has built me another one that I have to fill with dirt yet.

Here is my little garden today.

It's flourishing but could use a little rain.

I love to garden.  I think it is such a miracle that you plant seeds in the dirt and they give you food!

Such healthy eating because mine are all organic and I use no poisonous sprays or fertilizers.

My chickens are banned from this area or there'd be nothing left.

I'm just hoping the deer let it alone.

I've been lucky so far!

I think they know the dogs are around.  

They just don't know the dogs can't get to the garden!!

I found some old photos of when I was a gardening maniac!

They were taken with an old camera. 

That's about 13-14 years ago!

Herb garden

I wonder where my overalls went??

Hope you gardeners out there enjoy this.
