Finally, A Garden

To soothe our souls, and because we are tired of waiting for better areas closer to the doors of the house to be ready, we went to the garden center on US 441 near Webster yesterday and got a garden box, compost, manure, and plants – both vegetable and ornamental. This morning we planted our first North Carolina garden on up behind the house. We’ll be able to see it from our bedroom window and easily access it via the new stone steps.  Don’t know how much food we will get from it but it should be fun to eat squash, cukes, tomatoes, and peppers from our own little 4×4 plot.
