This week I tore down the two hand-made 4X8 garden boxes I made a couple of years ago. Between my piss-poor gardening skills, the Sonoran Desert climate, and a cat named Boo Boo, who is always on the lookout for some fresh dirt, I gave up! Here they are at about their best! My granddaughter Jordyn helped me with the decorating. I probably have over a thousand dollars worth of dirt, materials, and labor in that little garden. It's especially sad since I also took all the training to become a Master Gardner. I'm ashamed! We never, ever had anything really good to eat from it! I moved all the dirt into a new box for Boo Boo, should last her a while.
So, I'm onto the next plan. I'm only into about $100 or so, but I'm gonna do the Garden Patch! And no, it's not for people who are trying to quit gardening!
I'm looking forward to not having to try! So far Cathy has not offered any resistance to my new scheme, though the good Lord knows she has every right!
And just in case that don't work out, we also joined a local co-op farm, where we'll get a bag full of fresh, local, organic vegetables every week.
