Winter Garden

Once we got the garden area all mowed and I used the weed eater around the trees and lean to, I decided to plant a small winter garden....just for the fun of it. The first step of course was bush hogging, then I had to rake up the mowed grass and weeds. Next was to bring the tiller down from the barn. ( Chuck puts it on top of the bush hog and brings it by tractor since it's such a long walk to the center of the land) After I tilled, I had to rake again to get the dirt even. Then, the final step was to plant the kale, spinach, lettuce, beets and cabbage. Oh, how I wish I was going to be there to watch it all grow and be able to enjoy eating it all. Maybe some day, we will be able to enjoy the fruits of the land. Some days, I just feel that it is never going to happen. Maybe I will be pleasantly surprised some day.
