Today we broke new ground for a new set of garden beds. Our neighbor and friend Farmer Koch was interested in helping us out and he came down with his Uncle Wayne's 1978 Troy Built bear of a rototiller. It took us two hours to convert 800 sq. feet of established grass into 800 sq. feet of good growing space. Next week seeds go in the ground.
"I know nothing so pleasant to the mind, as the discovery of anything that is at once new and valuable-nothing so lightens and sweetens toil as the hopeful pursuit of such discovery. And how vast, and how varied a field is agriculture for such discovery." -Abraham Lincoln
