Tilling Time

Yesterday looked like a good day to do some garden work; we’ve had intermittent rains and even a few flakes of snow, and temps still drop below freezing some nights, but it was in the 40’s (°F), sunny, windy, but quite fair on Saturday. After raking up some leaves, I pulled the rototiller out of the shed, checked fluids and did a bit of maintenance, and turned in the cereal rye cover crop I had planted last Autumn.



When my soil test results come I’ll pick up the suggested amendments and then till them in. I will start seeds today using the ‘baggies’ method. It feels so good to get outside and do garden work again!

And Happy Easter!

It's still a little too cold here to start my garden but I should at least get my seeds started inside for planting outside. I will look into getting a tiller. I could use a break for my back. Thank you for the advise hon.

PS: Where do you get the soil tested?
