What is it with guys and shovels? With adept use of this amazing tool, Jon transformed my small (maybe somewhat unimaginative) plan for plant placement into a swath of measured beauty for our backyard organic garden! With more work for big muscles, I allowed him to move the chiminea back against the brick fence opening up more space for more plants!! Even though my tray of seedlings promises us a few herb plants eventually, Jon brought us several big healthy ones from the nursery. Yummy rosemary, basil, thyme, mint and oregano will add sweet succulence to our gourmet cooking!
We spent most of an amazing early springtime day together out there pulling roots (that darned St Augustine!) and planting. Such a privilege! And yes he measures! Precision is important to him and since both feet are the same size, he uses both to configure location, location, location!
I moved a few grateful arugula seedlings from the tray and into fertile mounds. Notice the cotton seed meal sprinkled over every thing? This provides enrichment for hungry little roots!
We have a marvelous start to more and more fun in the sunshine right here in our own back yard organic garden.
