The garden is officially underway. When I arrived Uncle Don had already plowed up an area south of the house where my grandmother gardened and where Aunt Carol had regularly planted vegetables for many years.
Although I pointed out an additional second spot where I had envisioned planting, Don suggested that I start small. The area he had already prepared measures approximately 9’ by 30’.
The only water source to irrigate the garden is next to the house. I soon discovered that our 50’ garden hose is nowhere near long enough to reach so yesterday I walked off the remaining distance to determine how long a second hose to buy. I came up with 75’ and, by golly, that was almost long enough!
Today the question is “shall I buy another 25’ or another 50’?”
I’ll let you know how it turns out.
