Some random thoughts

Here are a few images from my activities earlier this week ---I have been hand digging my veggie garden .... long story :)

I was just gonna have a few tomatoes and cukes, so I decided to start seedlings this year because my budget is so much tighter. Lo and behold, I have a green thumb and have had success with starting seedlings...

Had so many seedlings I had to keep digging....then I had more seedlings sprout and I hadn't even sowed my carrots, radishes & lettuce...yep - more digging.

I am SO happy though, because I'm now gonna have peas, tomatoes, peppers, cukes and who knows what else!!!
In the midst of my dig, dig, digging I have found bunches of ceramic shards, pieces of glass and a cool old padlock....along with these big a** rocks!

The larger of the 2 took my daughter and I to lift out of the hole. The second one I flipped end over end to get out. Next was a trip to the store to grab some top soil -- those big a** rocks had displaced quite a lot of space ---took two 40 lb bags of top soil to fill in the space and it still wasn't quite even, which will be good for the watering bit.

This pic is the 2 rocks. The other is the first, biggest one I pulled out.

I wish I was better at placing pics on this blog thing....if anyone has advice ---please share!!!!
