I haven't posted here in a while, since I started my own blog on my tomato website. One great thing about having your own server, is you can play around with it as much as you like.
My husband used the new tiller to do a square in the lower garden. I planted Bermuda onion plants, the larger cabbage and cauliflower plants, and I transplanted some garlic plants that were crowded and gone wild in the lower garden from years past. I mulched the area with alfa hay, the store was out of straw.
We hauled 50 bags of steer manure, plus seed starting mix, the very best organic potting soil, and other stuff. We till it into the garden as we work.
Right now, we are visiting my daughter in MN. Yesterday there was a blizzard, and we had to drive from Luci's home back to my Mom's house and our hotel. We saw numerous accidents, as it was very slippery. So we are getting our dose of cold and snow for the year. It was hard to leave home, as it was 80 degrees, and our front yard flowers were in full bloom. I hate missing them. I would so much rather be home.
We get home next week, and the very next day Loren is coming over to work for us for 2 days. He is tackling the tilling of the lower garden, and things like that. I am going to work with him just part of the time, as I have other work waiting for me when we get home. Hopefully I'll have photos to post when I get home.
