Well we’ve been trying to put our garden in since the beginning of February. Between rain, snow and crazy huge rocks I wonder if we will ever get there. I sometimes wonder why we quit foraging and took up this whole domestication process, as at this point I think it is a whole lot more work. So about three weeks into digging our garden we found two rocks. About two weeks after that, when the rain and snow stopped, we asked some friends to help dig them out. More, Sean asked friends for help as my girlfriends would have been like, “you want me to what!?!” Anyway we finally worked a weekend out when a couple of them could come over. We were hoping a rock bar, a bit of muscle, a bit of brain and a couple of hours and the job would be done. As you can tell by the photo we were a bit optimistic…
Yep that is Sean working a jack hammer. The guys took turns for almost two hours. Then Paul had to leave… then JP. Then this is what the work scene looked like…
Poor Sean was at it for another three hours. I wanted to help, but when the guys were here I was watching JP’s kiddo (who by the way is the most chill baby ever, and pretty darn cute too 
). Then after they left I had to leave for a previous engagement I had had planned for a while. I was really nervous to leave my hubby with a 65lb bouncing screwdriver. He did fine though. In the end he was sore, tired and extra shaky. Its like when you get out of the pool apparently… except for you don’t feel lite and airy you feel like you should still be bouncing around. 
In the end one rock came out completely, the other… not so much. However between the three of them it is now 14in shorter than it used to be, so with the dirt filled in I should have just over 2ft of room for my plants to root. That should be more than enough seeing as I’m doing veggies. Now if only it would not rain for about a week I could get the rest of the bed put together… I don’t think I should hold my breath on that one though.
