This one's Tuesday's calf, with another born Wednesday and more on the way!
Today in a nutshell:
Got a semi loaded with 40 cu. yds. of compost stuck in the last remaining mudhole along the drive. Took both the neighbors and the BIG John Deere to pull him out. Ate lunch. Prepared the new asparagus bed for planting. Tilled, added compost and planted 2 full beds of lettuce, radishes, spinach, onions, fennel & peas. Fed weeds to the calves. Had a blast! Click here for the rest of the pictures. Cut & pulled the sod from the new garden beds today. It's still a little too wet to plow. We're hoping (impatiently) this'll help the soil dry and start to warm....
This stretch will be the new asparagus bed....50 feet for 40 plants that'll start producing a lovely green & purple crop next April. Mmmmmm...... |
