Ooooo, pretty!

Ok, so we'll start out with a little honesty here. I really don't want to go work in the garden. I don't want to put my gardening shoes on, I don't want to casually glance out the kitchen window at it, and I certainly don't want to have to go crawl around on my hands in knees in the dirt and pull up those stupid, godforsaken roots of grass anymore. In case you couldn't tell, a wall might have been hit.

I spent yesterday morning/afternoon weeding and raking the area in front of my green beans in order to plant my cucumbers. It really only took about an hour or two, but that was an incredibly long amount of time for the small amount of space that I picked over. It is probably only about 30 square feet, but it was a tough little spot. All I can figure is that I just didn't do a very good job of tilling in this spot because I had waaay more stuff to pluck out here than anywhere else. Oh, I of course I forgot that I have yet to purchase my cucumber seeds, so I'll just have to rake it again once my dumbass goes and gets some. Yeah, a little special needs today.

I do have a little bit of good news, though....MY LETTUCE HAS SPROUTED!!!! I can barely tell, but it's there, reaching for that yellow sun for all it's worth! I have only watered the garden twice since I put the original crops in, counting on the one day of rain and the good amount of moistness (word?) in the earth to help it out. My aforementioned ninety year old neighbor never waters his garden, relying solely on mother nature to give him a hand, but I just don't know if I trust that bitch enough. She can be a little persnickity. Especially when I call her that, so.....I'll probably be watering a little bit this year! Ha, suck it nature! Sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes.
