Oh and we are having really weird pre-winter weather. Normally there's snow and cold. But so far no snow, beautiful over freezing weather and just awsome Fall!

Beware of rocks!!!
I don't have a picture for this entry because by the time I was finished there wasn't enough light. Late this afternoon I dug up a trench at the end of my yard for future asparagus plants. It's approximately 2 feet wide and 16 long. Since the seedling need to grow for 2-3 years before you can harvest.....you want a place out of the way so they'll grow quietly. Anyway......rocks! The spot where I dug was, like I said at the end of my yard. When my parents used to grow vegetable they threw all the rocks they found there. So today when I jumped on my shovel it didn't even go in! And I had a really bad time taking all those big rocks out. So what I want to say is throw your rock away for real. Not in a place you don't use. Because one day you may want to use it and will be really frustrated at yourself....or maybe your kids will be in the future =)

I would be so pleased to find rocks in my garden. We have no native rocks in South Texas. We have to buy rocks.
ReplyDeleteI am always finding bits of broken china (as well as rocks) when I am digging in my garden.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand having dug hundreds of rocks from my garden over the years. I made the same mistake your parents did too! I did have to haul them away to an old rock wall. Wish I had done that in the first place. I used to dread hearing and feeling the sounds of rocks when digging. Asparagus! Yum! Carol
ReplyDeleteToo bad I can't sell my rocks...and I found some broken china...old army men..and even broken down cinder blocks.=S
ReplyDeleteI bet that was a surprise!
ReplyDeleteSomebody who comes and digs in our yard later will find a hoarde of broken glass up on the hill. :)

It was but I've grown accustomed to the noise of metal against stone when I dig up my back yard ;)
