Last week before we left for our Colorado vacation, I stopped by Menards on my way home from work. I figured a week away from home was a great time to let some fresh garden soil and compost settle into the garden – better than nothing, right? So I picked up a few bags of organic garden soil and some Nebraska-produced manure compost and headed home with a new hoe and a new cultivator. My dear sweet husband, while impressed than I spent a couple of hours in the sun turning over the soil, was not so keen on the idea of paying for poop…
While digging, I came to the realization that flip-flops are not the best footwear for gardening. Not because I stubbed my toe on the shovel, but because I had a close run-in with my new “friend”, a large brown spider. Eek! I just have to remember that he’s there to help – a large well-fed spider is better than a garden plot full of bugs…
