The Garden is Officially ROCKED!

I spoke about how we began the “Rock the Garden” project last weekend, and it sat there all week making fun of me – telling me I was fat and I would never finish it.  It mocked me.  It hurt me deep down in my heart place.  We won’t go into that much.  Like I said… it hurts.

So as soon as the sun decided to grace us with its presence Saturday morning – I laid in bed and plotted the rock the garden project’s death.  It was still a bit cold, so I had a chance to hit up Westlake to grab some much need (and a few un-needed) things.  Some spray paint to “murder out” the newly acquired wheel barrel.  You don’t know what the term “murder out” means?  Cut the mustard and Ketchup (catch-up) already.

The Rock The Garden Project

We could have used you this weekend.  Seriously.  Whoever you are… if you have hands, feet – some amount of common sense (hell even Izzy can dig) and a brain bigger than the average pear… we could have used you.  We are trying to get the garden ready to be full-fledged-top-notched-awesom-ness, so in order to do that – we had to till up the existing garden and enhance it per a master plan (produced on a piece of paper at the coffee table).

The only thing we had planted at this point is potatoes, and we had a few broccoli plants left from the fall/winter batch of goodies.  So after plucking those badboys – the stage was set to till that thing up, mix in some plant friendly soil (organic of course) and lay some rock pathways to break up the massive size of the garden.
