For my whole life I’ve loved being in the garden. 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. Of course it was an easy choice since I loved gardening and hated school.
That’s how I came to be where I am, taking whatever time I can to be with my plants, but now it’s at my own house instead of the farm. This year I decided that I’d mix up the vegetables I planted. I stared with corn, then cauliflower, and finally cucumber. It was simple to do. I had to water them almost every day since this summer was so dry. I needed to get my man to chop down an intruding tree that was depriving my garden of the sun. 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 garden shovels for sale. Being down on my knees all summer is just unpleasant. In the coming years I think I might get someone to come to my house and weed my garden once a week. All I need to do now is get my husband to pay for it.
The right tools for the job make all the difference, and that’s why I don’t know why more people don’t cheap gardening tools. If it were up to me there would be no room left in my garage because I’d have a tool for every little thing. 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!
