garden (the beginning)

We rented a 15 by 20 foot plot to garden on. After about 15 minutes of
hoeing, we realized this wasn't working. Fortunately, a friend of ours
was watering his plot near us, came over to visit and suggested we have
our plot roto-tilled. We went to the garden shop we rented the plot from
and got the name of a fellow "farmer" who also did roto-tilling. We gave
him $10 and he said he would till our plot today.

We're going out tomorrow to plant the broccoli, radish, carrot seeds. We
can't plant the watermelons until mid-May. We going to buy and plant
tomatoes in late May. I'm thinking of seeing if I can still buy potato
"starts" and broccoli "starts" and plant them tomorrow.

I'll have to post pictures as the garden progresses to my photo blog and
facebook page.
