The Good Dirt

I had to share this photo of the garden in progress, which shows two things. 1) I didn't get done turning the soil this week (oh well), and 2) the soil here is amazing! I have had heavy clay soil in the last couple of places I tried to garden. This soil has enough clay for good tilth, but it is rich and crumbly with organic material. It is to the soil I had at my big garden in Georgetown as cake is to fudge. I could have mulched and composted in that garden for another ten years and not gotten dirt as nice as this. Maybe some master gardener of old worked the soil into this gorgeous shape for me and I am just lucky enough to reap the benefits.
