The previous owners dug up a patch of grass in the backyard for a garden, then let it go to seed. Last Autumn, we dug it all up, then let it go to seed again. So now we are digging it up a second time and, as we clear spaces, planting in the newly revealed dirt. Currently we have planted green onions (are coming up), carrots (are coming up), lettuce (only planted today), cucumbers (I think this one is a failure because nothing), peppers (bought a plant which hasn’t died yet), and raspberries (ditto).
I have a callus on my palm from the little shovel to dig up the tall grass growing there. It hurts when I type and rest my hand on the ergonomic bit on the bottom of my ergonomic keyboard they don’t make anymore.
