Michael is a master artist in his own home as well as on the road. About 10 days ago, he was planting his winter flower beds and urging me to help him. I demurred, saying that gardening was not my thing.

Then I began to see the results of his labor. And make no mistake, there is a lot of hard work in Michael's gardens.

Michael has customized his flower beds and lawns with a computer directed watering system, so each area of lawn and each flower bed can be watered as needed. As you can see above his results are breath-taking! And I became respectful and a little envious of his artistry and skills. Well, I harrumphed, I don't do flowers. But I might do vegetables.
Michael assigned me a plot of land and said go for it! And I'm going for it. Sunday I dug it up, and today I groomed it by picking out grassy clods and shaking off the dirt. I conserved the grass by replanting it in some thin spots. It may or may not root again, but it's better than having it go to waste.
My plot is about 3 feet by 9 feet, and it will be divided into four sections: Green leaf lettuce, spinach, green onions, and beets.

Folks, you know what this means? More blogging! Brace yourselves!!
