Garden day 1. I knew the crab grass would be a pain but I didn't plan on my being so out of shape. I could really only handle a couple of hours the first two days before my back, arms and legs were exhausted. With a shovel, a rake, and a bucket to transport the grass to the back of the house, we cleared out the plot of ground. When the girls found me still working when the got home from school they helped me dig and move grass and clear out the weeds. They even worked hard Saturday morning with me.
