Garden Ready

Today was a great day.  A friend of ours actually let us borrow his tiller that attaches to the tractor!  Yeah!  That meant that we wouldn't have to hand-till our HUGE vegetable garden.  As of right now this garden is for our own personal use and is probably WAY TOO BIG for our tiny family.  The pasture has been plowed up so today we started with some good old cow manure to be spread on the garden.

Loading up the manure spreader.  Make sure you get the good dark stuff.

Mmmm, look at that good stuff fly!

The wee ones were excited about the manure too.

This is the tiller that we borrowed, isn't it beautiful?  I love it!

Of course we had to take a break and pick some beautiful dandelions, which I personally think are pretty this time of year when not much else is blooming.

AHHHHH!! There it is in all it's glory, working away, I've never been so excited about machinery before.  I am going to put a special section away for a 'no till' experiment to see how that goes.  Now to start planning out my garden.

I wanted to take a picture of me in the middle of it but we had to rush off to do my mom and dad's gardens as well.  Maybe soon I'll be able to post it.  What have you planted so far in your garden?
