Come into the garden...

There haven't been many April showers, but we were happy to get in our potatoes today! I think we planted around 100 pounds of seed potatoes...thats a lot of potatoes...

...and lots of tilling! Here Daddy and Ben are working together to make a deep furrow. The tiller is much harder to manage with the blade on it, but it is still easier than grubbing out 500 holes with a shovel.

Mama and Charlie talk through the varieties in the background...Sammy worked the front tyne on another section of the garden. The hens know we turn up all sorts of bugs, grubs and other munchies when we turn over the soil in the spring, so they follow closely to pick up on the fresh treats.

To quote Daddy... "We are out planting potatoes and sweating in t-shirts on April 11!"
