Tilling Is Done!

Well we got enough of a break between rain storms to get the garden tilled.  We may start planting some corn this weekend.  We are also tossing around the idea of drip irrigation.  Haven't decided yet.  I'll get some pics and post them in here.

I found a great guide for drying veggies in your oven.  Thought I would try it with sweet corn and green beans this year.  The guide was too large for this space so I posted it in my newz blog.  You can find it here:

Yes! The Plow Man Came!!

Miss Becky just called me and said the plow guy just finished plowing and discing the garden.  I didn't even know he was going to be there today.  What a relief to get that done!!  I ordered 2 Hula Ho's last night on line.  The best garden tool ever made!!  I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes! The Plow Man Cometh

I met with the plow man today and he gave me a price to plow, disc, and till the garden.  The folks will be out Tuesday to spray paint where any underground utilities are at and if the weather is good, the plowing will commence..  I was so ill all winter that today was the first day I set foot out of my apartment since Sept. 16th.  It sure did feel good to be out and about!!

Tractor vs Tiller

I found out about a guy that will plow your garden at a very reasonable fee.  Seeing as how the ground here is like a rock, it seems wise to use his service and then we won't need the tiller for so long a time.  So I am going to make arrangements to get the garden plowed.  Yes!!

Oh, Shoot!!

Folks,  I refigured my budget for the month and had to call and cancel using the tiller on Saturday.  I'll have to wait and see if any gifts come in and then reschedule the tiller...
