We are officially done up here as of Tuesday

Two nights of of hard killing frost woke up to 26° this morning

I do have to confess that anytime I am in the tractor seat I am usually singing one of these two songs

Badly, Loudly, and off key :p

Just not working so well for us this year :(

The weeds took a strangle hold on the large section before I could get the cultivator figured out. I also probably did more harm than good learning how...

There is just something primal about dropping trees :D

This is what my solution is for now..

I made the 4x8 sheet recessed below the bed rails, I am hoping that eliminates it's ability to pry the top up..

I can lift the top out of the way to drive...

So all good news so far

Looks like everything survived the cold snaps, never again before June 1st he says again hehehehe

The Bush Beans have sprouted as of Thursday

Well that was a fun experience,

I got 4 rows plowed the other day and got the Walla Walla Onions planted in one of those..

So today before the wife got home I decide I can get the rest of the...

Yeah pretty much what I was thinking too, running a 3/4 hose over too the garden then build the distribution line with a hose inlet, main valve and with probably only 2 ball valves to supply 4...

Pretty much the same as the garden fencing, I could leave it out there, but if we get "REAL" snow I will lose it all to snow crush..

Wow that is some serious Dirt Turning...

I wish it had said Where and Why..

Oh yeah getting in some good work today

Popped a couple more stumps outta the ground over in the ever growing 1/4 acre :) Seems like every time I go out there with the Tractor I say to myself...

HA !!!! That explains it,, the ones we grew last year from the seeds you sent were pretty strong, I thought maybe I messed up somehow, and that they were rather small because of the short season...

That is the eventual goal, This is the 2nd year on this full garden, hopefully this will be the last year of tilling...

We tried the square Foot Gardening the first year in a raised bed, worked...
