Garden Plot Or Plotting Garden
The garden plot next to me is still available. I have one stalk of corn. The rest of them got chopped off with my first experience with a hoe. I thought they were blades of grass when they poked their little heads up out of the ground. This gardening thing is trickier than I thought. I don't get over there as often as I would like, so the daily changes are dramatic. The folks next to my plot are pros. Not a weed in sight! I probably should have stuck to Farmville and virtual farming. I wonder what they think when they see just one stalk of corn in my plot. There are bean plants on the way that I will transplant next trip over there. I am going to experiment with a Native American technique called 3 Sisters where 3 plants use the soil generally used for just one. My single corn stalk will come into play then. It will serve as a bean pole. I haven't decided on the 3rd sister just yet. Perhaps squash or pumpkin will finish it out.
