So you want to be a farmer?

This is my first attempt to blog so be gentle. First off I have no imagination so my blog must have a theme otherwise I'll never make myself consistently write something. This year I'm building a garden and going to grow thing and then eat them - my favorite thing to pass the time.

We have a huge backyard that is...empty and boring. What better way to do something about it then build a huge garden planter that will look ugly and white trash in a couple months with a half baked garden. My wife is having second thoughts about this already.

We decided to keep it simple and build a 12 foot by 4 foot planter. Just playing around we tried a 16 foot by 4 planter and just may end up going bigger. What's better then a an ugly white trash half baked garden then an even bigger ugly white trash half baked garden.

Before we could finish a thunderstorm rolled in and I first start to wonder if little plants will survive an Oklahoma spring storm. Less then 2 weeks ago a tornado touched down less then a quarter a mile away and destroyed a Target and Chuck E Cheese.
