The Garden of 2007. In an effort to continue the attempt to be more pro-life and pro clean... I decided to plant a garden. I'm hoping that the green growth will inspire more life oriented attitudes. Here you see the evolution of the garden from the cleanup of the ground to plant in, to the progress of the little plants we have installed.

First there was mowing followed by sifting some of the big rocks and gravel out of the soil. This area had gravel on it in years past. It took a while to rake and clear it, but it is done and we are on the way to a viable garden.

Steer manure has been the traditional fertilizer that we have used over the years. This was no exception. It was spread and then tilled in. Afterwards we planted the various vegetables bought at nurserys. These are Honeydew mellons.


Next to the Honeydews are the rows of corn to be. In front of the place there are tomato plants. Three to be exact, two Beef steak and one French Beef steak I believe. We started with manure there too.

The ground was ready to plant. Eventually the section looked like this. I have more to put on but not the time. Must go. Will do later.
