Tilling, a crappy job

Our goal for today was to get garden three prepped the rest of the way.  The forecast once again called for precipitation but not until later.  So we made our way back to the garden after breakfast.  The first thing we had to do was spread manure across all of the area to be tilled ( the crappy job.)  Once there was a good layer spread out it was time to make a pass or two with the tiller.  For this particular garden we used both the roto-tiller and the tiller on back of the tractor.

Once it's been tilled we had to go back over with a rake to pull out all of the weeds and roots that had been torn up.  Doing that kept us busy until lunch.  It's now ready to plant and looks great.

After

After lunch with an imminent storm on the way Laurie set us to transplant some lettuce seedlings.  A nice inside job.  We worked on that for an hour or two and called it a day after that.  With more bad weather in the forecast our days off this week were shifted to Saturday and Sunday.  So it's the weekend!!

Laurie cooked up another delicious meal for dinner.  We ate and chatted for the rest of the evening.
