Paul's Version of Planting

For my whole life I’ve loved being in the garden. When I was young it would be imposable to get me out of the garden, where I spent most of my days with my grandmother. Every summer I would spend all my days on my grandparents farm. My grandfather game me a proposal, work in the garden or study American history. Of course it was an easy choice since I loved gardening and hated school.

So that leads me to where I am today, still spending all summer in the garden, just now it is my backyard instead of the farm. This year I though I would plant a mix of vegetables. I began with tomatoes, then moved onto beans and broccoli. It was simple to do. The plants needed water almost every day because the sun was shining and it was always hot and 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 buy garden shovels. Being down on my knees all summer is just unpleasant. Next year now that I think of it I might hire someone to come in every once in while and do it for me. All I need to do now is get my husband to pay for it.

Gardening tools make a big difference so I don’t know why people aren’t keener to gardening tools for sale. 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. If next summer you are thinking to take a roll in the dirty, go at it with the right tools!
