Hey, Janie, great minds think alike today. And weather has cooperated. It was quite overcast and drizzling when I started, but now it is bright, some overhead clouds, and I'm moving along at a steady pace, but stopping at predetermined points to do some other garden tasks. I get started on one thing sometimes and wear myself out doing it alone--but today I figure I'll dig a while, then weed and mulch, then address the paths into the garden (newspaper on the ground, covered with the woody compost from the city site where I get it free), then back to digging. This way at the end I don't have just a swath of exposed dirt and and exhausted body, I have exposed dirt and a more polished looking rest of the garden. I'll spread an organic fertilizer when I'm finished and water it in after 7, when my side of the street can water today (even addresses on even days, in the evening).
