As far back as I can remember I've loved gardening. When I was a small child I would spend countless hours in the dirt with my grandmother planting everything from cucumbers to corn. All summer I would spend the days of summer at my grandparent's farm. I was really given two choices, work in the garden or study my spelling. It was simple in my mind because I loved being outside in the garden and didn't like school at all.
So that leads me to where I am today, still spending all summer in the garden, just now it is my backyard instead of the farm. This year I decided that I'd mix up the vegetables I planted. I began with tomatoes, then moved onto beans and brocoli. That was the easy part. I had to water them almost every day since this summer was so dry. I also had to get my husband to cut down a tree that was cutting off the sunshine. So basically it was a lot of work to get those veggies.
Getting rid of weeds it the most boring part of gardening. This year I didn't have as many problems because I chose to go out and buy garden shovels. Having to move around on my knees all summer was not fun at all. Next year now that I think of it I might hire someone to come in every once in while and do it for me. Now all I have left to do is convince the hubby, he's cheap.
Gardening tools make a big difference so I don't know why people aren't keener to cheap gardening tools. If I had it my way the house would be filled with evey little tool that anyone has ever thought up. I love gardening and having the right tools makes it so much more enjoyable. Next time you are thinking of getting down and dirty, grab the right tool for the job and have fun!
