The Legend of My Vegetable Garden

I never ever imagined that I would be able to build a vegetable garden by myself!! After having enjoyed a lot of fresh vegetables (like chives, tomatoes, and winter melons) from my church friends for the first few months since my family moved here, I thought that might be a good idea to have my own garden when the first spring rain came in...., then a month of hard work and suffering started...
Since my husband showed no interest in gardening and never had any time, I started this project from digging, removing sod (most grass has root reaches to 8 inches deep), pulling up weeds, installing edges, tilling soil, and moving top soil and manure which weigh more than 40 lbs per bag from the garage to the backyard, to sowing. My back and right arm already complained me with sore and pain..
After the garden was completed, the only thing I knew was that I was stupid enough to do this all by myself!!! One month later, I found out somebody or some animals ate or stole my sweet potatoes leaves and one of the sweet potatoes' root was missing. This reminded me that my husband once told me he ever spotted possum and raccoons in our backyard at midnight. Maybe I need to put a monitor in my backyard to solve this mystery...

Thanks to Jiarong for donating her sprouted sweet potatoes to my garden....

one month later....
