We started a Mother’s Day tradition last year of planting our garden on Mother’s Day. Last year we planted pumpkins, tomatoes, cantaloup, watermelon and carrots. The problems is, you see, that in between last fall and this spring our little garden plot turned into a mess of weeds…more than I could tackle on my own. So, I brought in the troops.
We still didn’t get rid of all the weeds today. It was hot and we didn’t have any water and Colm got sunscreen in his eye. BUT we did manage to get rid of all of the weeds except one small corner. Next weekend we are going to rent a tiller to break up the soil that is as hard as a rock and MAYBE, just maybe actually get some seeds planted in the ground.
What are we planting? I am so glad you asked. We are planting watermelon, radishes, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and strawberries this year. We are also working on getting some raised beds and/or some large pots at our house, too.
