Apparently the ground in this part of Virginia is not naturally conducive to gardening. 
(Certain verses come to mind …) We planted a new garden in our back yard this weekend, and just below the grass is solid clay and rock. After much manual labor, we hope our excavation was of sufficient quality to yield a few different types of tomatoes, some squash, and rhubarb later this summer. The rhubarb came from my Grandma in MI originally, and has moved with us to every house we’ve owned.
Also just below the grass is our cable line. Comcast went all out burying that sucker … underneath a layer of grass seed. We were too far along in the excavating process to put the garden elsewhere, so we now have a couple flags marking the cable through the middle of our garden strip. Reminds me of other cabling they’ve done.
Thus far the plants are looking good, the sod we replanted elsewhere in the yard hasn’t completely died yet, and I’m still a bit sore from hauling all the dirt, clay, and rock. Nothing quite like weekend work to make you thankful for a desk job.
