We Broke Ground!

Since the land where we plan to put the garden hasn't been plowed up in probably over 30 years, our first step is to get the land turned over and start removing rocks...


I got a surprise message from my dad last Saturday telling me he had decided to go ahead and purchase a rotary tiller instead of us hiring someone to come plow up the garden.  By the time I spoke with him, he had purhcased it and already had it attached to his tractor ready to go...Here he is with his new toy...



Dad and Dean came over and BROKE GROUND on Monday, January 23...It's starting to look like a garden now!

But...look a little closer...YES...We have a ROCK GARDEN right now...

We expected this might be the case since Southwest Missouri land has the reputation for being so rocky...Now is when the hard work is going to have to kick in...But soon it will be BEAUTIFUL!
