Breaking new ground

 It is official! We broke ground at Boone's Hollow Farm and it is beautiful soil. We hired a man to come in and plow, disc, and hill our 1/4 acre plot. Despite the looming storms and the waist high grass, he arrived in the afternoon and worked 4 hours to get the land how we wanted.

We still have a lot of work to do to get our 1/4 acre ready. Next, we will compost and till. Then, we will lay the black plastic to suppress the weeds. Finally, we hopefully will be able to get our cucurbits in by early June!

The awesome tractor arrives

Waist high grass = slow go
