Summer Garden and Poop?
I recently put in my summer garden. I love to garden, though I'm not very good. I love to go and prune and pluck and dig around in the dirt. I headed to the Home Depot to pick up starts and some soil conditioner a few weeks ago. We live in an area where the ground is very hard and clay like. I tend to garden sans gloves. I like to feel what I am doing. I don't think my mom let me make mud pies when I was a child. Anyway, I'm digging around with my hands and planting and packing and mention to KT that the conditioner kind of smells like poop. With dirt up to my elbows, he says, "Yeah! What did you think was in soil conditioner." He had a great laugh.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, I planted tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, red bell peppers, zucchini, butter nut squash, watermelon, cantaloupe and blueberries. Even if I don't harvest a thing, at least I had fun digging in the poop.

I am so coming over to your house for dinner when you start harvesting. Provided you wash your hands. ;)
