As the title says, I tilled my gardens for the first time this year today.

The day started out with a little rain shower this morning so I thought that the day was a wash. I went to the shop anyway and changed the oil in the Horse so that would be done when I could till. But, the rain stopped in pretty short order. I ended up doing some other little chores to let the sun and wind dry the surface for a while.

Around noon, things lined up pretty well and I dug in. The first plot is around 35' x 100' and the second is 30' by 75'. Plenty of space for what I want to do.

Anyway, I know you guys love pics, so I snapped a couple for you. :thThumbsU

Thanks fellas. I haven't put anything out yet but I do have some green onions that came back up from last year. They should be nice and tasty with some pinto beans. :fing32:

I saw the opportunity today and figured that I had better take it while there was about a four day break in the monsoons.

I'm hoping for a nice harvest again this year. We'll see and I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Thanks! This is where I grew up and it is truly home. It's a lot to keep up, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

The weather couldn't have been better. Light cloud cover and right at 70*. It just doesn't get any better than that. :thThumbsU

I'll never tell whose place that is. :fing32:

Actually, that was caused by a last minute blueberry bush sticking out in the track.

There wasn't any involvement from adult beverages at that point in time. That was shortly afterward though. :D
