Home of the $200 Tomato

I'm proud to present my most recent project.  And one I actually finished.  Wait, can you ever consider a garden finished before harvest?


The friendly Home Depot delivery guy was kind enough to not just dump forty 60lb blocks on the curb.  But I did have to haul them one at a time to the side yard.  Because I am weak, Kacey had mercy on me and hauled the last eight.  To be fair, I did not collapse in a quivering mass of expended muscle.  He stepped in after I gave myself a minor concussion with the hand truck.  Don't ask, I'm not really sure how I did that to myself.

Did I mention that I split concrete blocks with my bare hands...and tools



Lettuce and peas are planted.  Veggie starts are ready to go in.  Drip irrigation is next.  Those first carrots and peas will taste extra good.  Keeping the organic fruit and veggie delivery probably would have been less expensive.
