3.19.07 - Almost Time to Till!!


It won't be long before it's time to do the first round of tilling in the garden. Last year our garden was pretty huge with several 75 foot rows, so it does take all day to till even with our nice gas-powered tiller. This year I'm considering hiring out the neighbor's tractor. I hope he'll let me ride it -- under close supervision of course. :)



All we need is a week of dry weather and our clay garden is tillable. We have quite a bit of leaves and last year's straw mulch covering things, so we are improving the soil.
