Garden Plot Story for Alanna
One day, Grandpa decided he wanted a garden in his backyard. It was almost June, and probably too late to start a garden in Texas. But Grandpa didn't mind. At least he now had a spot to dispose of the compost Grandma makes in her new bins, and the large patch of crabgrass was getting tilled. Grandpa doesn't like crabgrass.
After fixing the handle on the Holley rototiller he carefully tilled the crabgrass and the clay underneath it. While tilling he found many small rubber balls. He wonders if maybe rubber balls are tubers? They seem to grow in the grass roots in his yard.
After a few hours it was getting hot, so he tried a bigger hat and a patio shade to keep cool. However, he still managed to get a red neck and slightly over-heated. Maybe if he had stayed under the shade instead of next to it he would have kept cooler?
When the plot was tilled, the borders set in place, and Grandma's compost mixed in, Grandpa found a better way to cool off. Hooray for pools!
Now Grandpa has a garden plot, but he needs some plants for it. He thinks that if he is patient, the crabgrass will come back and grow very well in his new garden plot. What other plants might grow well in Texas in June?
