Playin' in the Dirt

El Jardin is officially planted!!  Steve found the old slab for a garage from god knows when while he started tilling up the dirt.  He had to chop it out with an ax.  It was intense.  But, now both raised beds are in: tilled, filled with organic soil and manure, and seeds/plantlings.  From seed, we are growing zucchini, carrots, and snow peas.  From plantlings, we are growing roma tomatoes, broccoli, green peppers, yellow squash, and yellow onions.  Wm wasn't much help, as he has pretty much lost all interest in the garden.  But Suzanne came over and assisted with planting in exchange for some produce bounty when things finally grow!  I was going to take a picture of the garden, but realized it's not really interesting right now.  Mostly dirt with a few tiny plants sticking out.  I'll wait until growth occurs.  Now we are just waiting on the rain...

So I'll show this picture of Mr. Purpletongue (still working his way through Easter jelly beans) instead:
