I’ve been talking about starting a garden for many a summer.

This year I decided to actually do it. All talk and no action does not get the (garden) hoe dirty, or so some sort of similar saying goes.

I bought the dirt, seeds, gloves and I got busy. So far I’ve planted lettuce, cucumber and radish seeds as well a blueberry bush and some sweet pea flowers.

I felt supreme satisfaction and was excited to hopefully see some sprouts, but after three days, my garden looked more like a fresh grave than a produce playground. 

Well, I’m happy to say that this week while I was watering that mud hole, I noticed some very distinct lettuce sprouts. They look more like tiny four leaf clover patches at this point, but pretty soon I’m going to be making a salad to die for. Oh yes.

Once I get my camera back in order I’ll take a photo for you to feast your eyes on.

Want some gardening tips? Come ‘ere.
