winter, you're drunk, go home.

All i want to do is go and dig in the garden, is that so much to ask??

I guess i can start with what i did last year, my first year of gardening EVER!

This is from the day i bought my house.

My dad and i tore down what was supposed to be a shed and kept all the wood. I used the leftover wood to make raised beds as lumber is expensive as hell! 

I put strawberry plants in the small one at the top, then veggies in the big one, then sunflowers in the little square one. I never really had a plan, just kinda build beds as i went a long. I lined them with screen in attempt to keep the weeds out. I knew as my first year trying to grow anything that this would likely be a failed experiment. What i did find out is that if you plant it, it will grow.....

And in just a couple months, it did!

I am one picky vegetarian....notice no tomatoes :)

So growing was the easy part, it was getting to eat any of them before the birds, animals, bugs, or slugs got to them first. I think i got one strawberry, one pepper, and a couple zucchini and squash. bastards!                                                                                                                                                  

The process of gardening is my favorite part....obviously i would have loved to eat some of what i grew, but nothing beats being in the sunshine all day with iced coffee in hand and the music blasting! 

And Dexter was always there to lend a helping paw, or just look cute, or shit in the garden :)

MEOW.
