Garden ready

Due to all the rain this year, our garden is months behind.  We finally had a long enough dry spell for Dan to get out there and get the area ready.  Here's the process...

First you plow through the rock hard ground...




Then you hook up the spike-tooth harrow and drag it round and round to break up the large clumps...







And finally, you run a blade over it to level everything out...

Lastly, Dan had to get a bunch of cedar trees and clear the limbs.  Then he dug a million holes and dropped the trees in.  Added some deer fencing and lower level of chicken wire, built a gate and we have ourselves a fully enclosed 50' x 100' garden area.

Now we just have to see if any of the seeds he started are still alive to plant.  Fortunately, our neighbor has too many cucumber plants and needs to thin them out, so Dan is over there as I type to get the extras. 

We may actually have a few veggies this year after all!
