Paul's Version of Planting

As far back as I can remember I’ve loved gardening. When I was a small child I would spend countless hours in the dirt with my grandmother planting everything from cucumbers to corn. All summer I would spend the days of summer at my grandparent’s farm. My grandfather game me a proposal, work in the garden or study American histroy. 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 brocoli. 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 also had to get my husband to cut down a tree that was cutting off the sunshine. So basically it was a lot of work to get those veggies.

Weeding is my least favorite part of gardening. This summer is was a lot better because I went out and decided to buy garden shovels. Being down on my knees all summer is just unpleasant. In the coming years I think I might get someone to come to my house and weed my garden once a week. 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 buy gardening tools. If I had it my way the house would be filled with evey little tool that anyone has ever thought up. 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 dirtt, go at it with the right tools!
