To our garden.
The garden spot promised in the MLS listing when we bought our home really turned out to be a Quikrete (or something similar) RV pad covered with a little bagged soil. The past 6 springs when I've had the energy to push my workers I've insisted on digging it out and filling it up with top soil. It is hard work.
This year after only being able to add another 3-4 feet, Tom sensed my disappointment and went and bought a sledge hammer. How much faster that made the work! (However, you have to be very careful not to crumble the cementy stuff--it is much harder to remove and not very good for veggies.)

(However, you have to be very careful not to crumble the cementy stuff--it is much harder to remove and not very good for veggies.)After two loads of rock to the landfill and two loads of top soil, we were able to add about another 12 feet to our garden. I'm going to try to grow corn this year! (The above photo is the rock pile after the 3-4 feet of clearing.)
Although it is hard work, I'm thankful that my boys have opportunities to do this kind of hard work. It is such a good character builder!

Talk about a daunting project. Can't wait to see the real fruits of your labors.
Congratulations! Love wonderful willing husbands and sons who work hard to help out their wives. I hope your corn grows great.
Pretty big hunks to come out of that spot! Great work guys!
