"I'm glad I brought my long-handled shovel."
In seriousness, the garden is maybe... 40% free of grass and weeds. I figured out a good way to pry loose the big clumps of grass that gather near the edges. Just use the old sharpshooter shovel. For the interior part, away from the edges, I've been using my Garden Claw tool. It doesn't get in there as deep as I'd like. I hope it's deep enough to keep this grass from resurfacing.
If any of you are planning on planting, I think it would be best if you did so on the side of the garden I've been working on. I'm working north to south, if it isn't clear from looking at it (and I hope it is!)
All right. Now, back to the job they're paying me for. Happy digging.
PS: I nearly forgot, but one of our building people, Randy, has told me and Dana how to get water out to the garden. There's a 250-foot hose on a mobile reel, and a place to hook it up.
Furthermore, he told me that there was a work order filed to install a farm-style faucet near the chain link fence by the garden, so in the future it won't be such a schlep to get the hose out there. That should be happening within the next three weeks or so, I'm told. I'm looking forward to that!
UPDATE:
Here's how things look after this afternoon's work.
Yeeeeeeaaaaah. You can see dirt now!
Compare this shot with what I put up yesterday.
Still not completely there, but I'm beginning to think we might just make this happen by Friday.
By the way, I'm sorry about all the divots.
