A Veggie Spot

After a lot of hard work last year, and no green rewards, I decided that I would create a small veggie spot this year. Hopefully I'll get some Wild Flowers in Wild Flower Garden Area #1 - and if I'm lucky I'll get some Veggies in this new spot too.

There's a small area of good dirt behind the workshop. It had been covered with a lot of trash - water barrels, old sinks, plastic and just stuff that blew in. The trash needed to be picked up and the dirt turned for the first time (ever).

My brother helped me move the barrels and the sink out of the way. And my brother suggested hooking this sink up to a water catchment system. Now that would be nice.

So, after picking up the garbage I started turning the dirt over. GUESS WHAT? The area already has WORMS!!! Now I'm REALLY excited. This guy was tucked back into his home after his picture was taken. What this tells me is that the dirt here IS good enough for gardening.

The only bad thing is that I have a nasty cold so my energy level is non-existent. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.
