Preparing the Garden
Posted By Elaine on April 6, 2009
Yesterday was a busy day. Sunday.We all got up and out for church early. There was a bake sale at church and then we grabbed lunch to take home on the way. We were not here very long when we heard this strange rumbling. Our neighbor, Guy, was coming on his tractor to disc up the garden for me. Now, I knew he was coming at some time to do that for me but I didn’t know when, so I was glad I was here and remembered to pick up the camera.
Guy's tractor
When we had the garden plowed in the fall we thought it was pretty big… 20X40. I was used to 4 raised beds that were 8×4. As Quinn and I watched with fascination, Guy cut the garden up and we turned to each other saying how it’s not really that big after all, and could be bigger. Maybe next year I will make that my winter garden and put all my garlic there and move my summer garden beside the barn.

It was neat to watch him manipulate the discs.
Guy also brought us a bank of nesting boxes that he pulled from a relative’s property. They are quite the find. I can’t remember if there are 5 or 6 across and they are 2 deep. These are very expensive when bought new! I am so grateful to have them. We will have to rehab some of the floors in them, but the rest are sound. Quinn is going to do the rear support of the hoop house and mount them either today or tomorrow so stay tuned for that.
Y’all come back now!
