manure happens

Since my soil is basically rock hard clay.... I need to add some manure to my soil. Everything that doesn't get water, b/c of the watering system is ROCK hard dirt. It really blows when a weed gets through! It is amazing to me that putting this 'crap' in your garden actually helps produce eatable food.

I feel like a proud mother


I really love vegetables. I love them even more when they are fresh picked from my own backyard. Last year my garden was out of control weeds and lots of wasted water. This year the mom helped a TON by helping me get it going and installing a drip system. Those drip systems are a dream! No wasted water and thanks to the timer I never forget to water. Now I am learning that different vegetables need more or less water then others so I will need to adjust that for next year.
