Living off the land…kind of.
I am happy to announce that, if the apocalypse comes, Randy and I are preparing for being prepared.
We’re starting our very first vegetable garden. Right now, it’s just some chopped-up dirt in our backyard, but come summer, it’s going to be a luxurious, verdant 8′x6′ patch of awesome.
Check out the ground-breaking ceremony:
Is there anything sexier than a skinny white guy with a pickax? I don’t think so!
Almost as exciting as our chopped-up pile of dirt that will someday be a lush garden is our custom-built compost bin:
You never saw two people get so excited about eggshells in your life. I have a feeling for the first couple of weeks, Randy and I are going to be fighting over who gets to go out and turn the compost. I can’t wait until we get some usable mulch!
(Yes, I am eagerly anticipating mulch. I think this makes me an official grown-up.)
Only 1 squash plant!! Or else they’ll take over your space and you’ll be begging people to take your squash away. Trust me, after 3 years of not listening to myself, this year we will only have 1 zucchini plant. And, um, a butternut squash.
So awesome. We’re building raised beds too this year. Cept we can’t for like 3 months.
I haven’t been by to visit for a while (new layout!), but wanted to let you know that I loved your last few entries. That calculus post is spot-on. And you know I love gardening! Keep rocking!
The compost bin looks pretty professional.
How’s the garden coming along?
