work in the garden

Sigh…our plans kind of got pushed aside by school in the spring. Think I might try to help my mom outside though.

So um, there aren’t very clear criteria for passing this, heh. My mom and I got out yesterday and cleared the huge nasty weeds and debris from the vegetable garden area yesterday, and put them in the compost heap. Then we sprayed Roundup all over the garden area to kill the weeds (we haven’t had a real garden back there for years, it’s just been a mess). Now we have to wait, and then water it, probably apply Roundup again because they’re REALLY nasty, then we’re going to rototill, then level out the place where there’s a giant mound (not like a cucumber mound, heh), then add some good stuff to the soil, then when it’s warm enough, we’ll plant the seeds we’ve already started (we have baby plants, yay!). So technically, I’ve already worked in the garden this year, but I think I’ll “pass it off” when we get the veggies planted:)
