Primitive Garden Photos

We've dug, and sweated, and grunted, and pulled out a lot of rocks.  Here is what we've got so far.
 Garden plot #1 finished!
Garden plot #2 in the words via Jason's strong muscles!





Two side by side plots for our garden.  I promise that I did help, it's just that someone  had to take some pictures.  ;-)

We mapped out our garden plots using old yarn and nails (that we found in the garage) as stakes.  I'm sure actual stakes would have been better but we didn't have any... so get creative (nails ended up okay except that Jason tripped on a section of the yarn and pulled a nail out which we have yet to find!).  I walked 3 steps wide and about 14 steps long, and also did some eye-balling.  Then just dug off the grass.  Easy peasy lemon squeasy!

Our soil turns out to be very clay heavy and full of rocks, thankfully we didn't find any rocks bigger than a soft ball.  Our next adventure will be into soil additives, wish us luck!
