And it took me 7 hours to make it that way. I spent the day roto-tilling my garden, knocking down the weeds and leaving a smooth, fluffy plane of brown.
Tomorrow, I will begin planting. I'm putting in asparagus to start. We won't be able to pick any until 2009, at earliest. But, once we begin picking, the wait will be worthwhile.
We'll also plant some spinach, radishes and cukes. My daughter likes seedless cukes, so we're trying those this year. Fingers crossed.
I'm ordering some sweet corn and pumpkins, too. Those should be here sometime next week.
This is the time of year when promise is abounding. I hope to keep the promise this year.

The rewards of reaping your own harvest almost make up for the back ache.
I am only doing tomatoes and peppers this year. I better get lots for canning, that is all I can say. I miss my homemade salsa and arrabiata sauces, and the crap from the store does not compare...
