Midwestern Saying

"We haven't had so much fun since the hog ate little sister!"

The Sodding Garden

I know it's been a while but the garden seems to have taken over our life. The Young Urban Farmers I had such hopes of turned out to be M.B.A.'s from Queens and this is a business venture. Sure is, as they have taken a rather large amount of dosh off Hannah and a larger amount off me but failed to deliver the goods. There was no soil prep of any kind and seeds sown at random so weeding was an exercise in frustration. After a few curt e-mails the Head Farmer graced us with an hour of his time to see what he could do to make things better. Not much apparently. He did bring a bail of straw though. To sit on and weep?
We are back at it early Canada Day morning to try and work some peat moss and feeder in to the clay. If we had opened a brick yard our fortunes would have been made. I will be lucky to get a dozen beetroot out of this lark. Same for the carrots. In all fairness the beans and tomatoes are coming along so it all works out to about five bucks a veg. Bit steep I think.
The YUFS will get no referral from me I'll tell you and a flea in their collective ear for free!
Happy Canada Day I don't think.
