Tennessee is a beautiful state full of picturesque rolling hills and southern hospitality. I really do love it here, but right now, I have two complaints: 1. I'd rather eat my weight in cheese than try to level/plant anything else in this horribly hard, infertile clay soil... and 2. The mutant, ever present tropical bugs that seem to find pleasure in torturing half Asian girls named Renee. You would think the garlic kimche breath would turn them off, but no, they like it.Nearly every work day for the past 4 plus weeks, I've been out in the yard doing some kind of crazy landscaping project. The funny thing is, it doesn't look that different! What the heck?!!!
I'll post pictures soon, in hopes of receiving lots of encouraging and flattering comments, that will motivate me to get over the fact my hands now look very similar to Frodo Baggins' feet, and once again find my inner Martha.
But for now, I'm off to get my hostas planted and dig up another garden bed since I can't afford 110 lbs of cheese.
Help me.

I was feeling sorry for you until it dawned on me that you only weigh 110 pounds! Good luck...I've already given up and just stick to the simple landscaping!
Ditto Kristen ;) The ground here stinks! You almost have to rent a rototiller to get anything planted.
Get a burn barrel and bur everything and put your ashes in your gardens. We are having great luck with it. But I can say that bermuda grass SUCKS!
I don't know how you are gardening in this heat! I desparately need to spread mulch and have seriously considered doing it in the dark. Good luck it!
