Early in April Richard tilled a spot in the backyard for our garden. I didn't plant anything at that time because I got hung up with details like what to plant and what kind of compost to add. Because of that the only things I had watched grow in the garden were weeds.
One day I was at the store and saw a bunch of plants and decided just to buy $20 worth of veggie plants and see what happened. We didn't add compost, we had the neighbor kids come over and help and I spread some old leaves all over the weedy parts of the garden to keep the weeds down (this is not a proven effective method, only a hair-brained idea.) So far the plants are fine, except the tomato leaves are a little yellow and some naughty animal has eaten the top off of one of them. Wish me luck!

good luck! I am not a gardener although i'd like to try sometime. i've heard if you sprinkle human hair around the garden it will keep animals away.
