Adventures in gardening

So my husband and I decided we'd start a vegetable garden this year. You know, to save money in this terrible economy.
So $50 later, we have all kinds of seeds, from asparagus to zucchini. (Thank you, little daughter, for helping us pick out one of every seed packet at the store.)
Add to that the $30 we spent on a tool to dig up the grass. Then we need some wood for a frame and good dirt to add on top.
I can tell we're saving money already.
After my husband had the area all dug up, I hauled the sod clumps to the back yard. (We're putting our vegetable garden out front, where we get the most sun and where our dogs can't romp around in.)
I figured, hey, I can use these clumps of dirt to fill in all the holes Hera's dug all over the yard the past several years.
Wrong! As soon as I filled in a big hole, Hera was right there, enjoying the smell of new dirt.
I guess a dog's gotta have something to do all day. Might as well dig.
And when we grow more vegetables than we can stand, I'm sure she'll have a great time jumping in the compost and foraging for scraps.
