For the past couple of years I've been late in getting my garden in. This year I'm getting an earlier start. I ran the tiller through this about 3 times over...
...and a couple times on the small bed. I plan on going out tomorrow and tiller each of them a few more times. I haven't decided if I want to enlarge either of them.

Very cool! We're still too muddy here to do much... and I have to build the raised beds... this pneumonia set me back some on my 'timeline' but hopefully I'll have the energy to help Rick do that this weekend :)
I was surprised that we were as dry as we were. I think it was just right for turning. Hope you're feeling well enough to get outside and play in the dirt. :)
I think Spring may finally be here! Glad you were able to get your garden started some before the rain if you got any. We got quite a bit here. I am afraid between the mud and being so busy with the goats that our garden is going to get a late start this year but I am hoping it dries out soon here so I can at least get something started with it.
Haven't been back out to the garden since I tilled it. We did get some rain and now it's turned cold again. I'm going to plant some birdhouse gourds this year after seeing how many you got last year. Just waiting on my mail order seeds. :)
Hi! My poor old vege patch hasn't seen a veg for a long, long time. Slackness is to blame here!
Now, is that stump going?
Take Care,
Peter
Peter - You really should take time to plant you some fresh veggies. Not only are they good for you but there's no better taste than veggies fresh from the garden.
Stump? If you're talking about the large garden, click on the picture to make it larger. No stump there. At the rear of the garden is a mulberry tree (my pallets are leaning up against it and hay at the bottom). Last year it had no berries so I'm hoping it's a non-bearing, in which case I'll keep it. I may have to move my garden further away from it as it casts more shade.
Hi! I feel like such a dill! Well, it looked like a stump up until I followered your advise.
Now, I've also got a mulberry tree but no fruit. Strange that!
I remember as a kid we would raid a neighbours mulberry tree and come home strained from the face to the toes! Sweet Memories!
I'll let you know when I start planting veggies. I will probably have to do it well before October. My son is getting married then and I have to have everything right including the rest of the garden. Oh! my poor back!
Take Care,
Peter
Hi! Me again. That is supposed to be stained from the face to the toes! Not strained! I think I need to go to bed and give the brain a rest!
Take Care,
Peter
Peter - No need to feel like a dill, I could see where that all looked like a stump. Some mulberry trees are non-bearing. I don't know how one would tell to be able to raise them. Dad bought a non-bearing Mulberry from a Tree Nursery when I was a teenager. He had memories of playing in mulberry trees in his youth but he didn't want to mess with the berries. As to mulberry stained children, one 4th of July we camped out at a friends place on the river and my children discovered every mulberry tree along the edge of the river where they ventured. They would come back from the river purple then play in the knee deep waters and the fish would nibble them clean. We have some white mulberries along the river, too. The children said they were a much sweeter mulberry.
