I have two big jars of dirt. One from this year, one from last year.
I got the dirt from my yard, just a small shovel of it and I added some water.
The jar from last year has plants that grew out of the dirt from seeds that were just in the dirt naturally. The jar from this year hasn't shown any signs of life yet but I'm hopeful.
My garden I talked about previously is still a WIP. I had to clear a space for the raised beds and that took much longer than I'd like it to have taken. Now I am waiting for school to end so I can go build the beds. I'm going to make them by hand so I gotta do all the measurements and stuff.
Also on the docket for this year is grass. We had some sewage work done which ruined a good portion of the front yard. I'm going to go for a mixture of grass and clovers.
