Photos: Digging in the Dirt
Two Saturdays ago was Planting Day 2009 at the bachelor pad.
My roommate Randy (”Captain Green Thumb Express”) comes from a gardening lineage, and almost every spring he plants lots of flowers — and usually some vegetables.
I was happy to learn from a master.
Here are some photos from our big day in the dirt.
Randy’s one happy gardener — and he was indefatigable!
The birth of a backyard sanctuary.
Perhaps you can tell by the look of my right hand that playing in the dirt was the fun part for me.
The vegetable garden — “where the beer flows like wine … where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano.”
Can you see the bulge from the wad of Red Man tobacco packed in my left cheek? I’m about to spit tobacco juice all over the newly planted flowers. That’s a gardening secret I taught Randy (a-ha). I learned it last year from my friend Carolyn Freeman.
