Getty Ready - Part 1

This weekend we “broke dirt” in the garden for the first time since last fall.  Our gracious friends came over on Sunday with their John Deere to till the soil.  We till the soil at the beginning of the season and the in late fall after the garden has been put to sleep for the winter.  
This spring we tilled in some peat moss to help retain moisture and hopefully stop the soil from compacting so hard.

Getting Ready!

Adding Peat Moss
(I think it was the windiest day of the year.. figures!)
 Can't wait until this weekend to plant!  The forecast looks hot and dry, do I dare say I want it to rain already???
