Finally after weeks of rain we had a dry spell and then a 75 °F day yesterday. Broc called me.  "Let's get thet yard of yours tilled, raked, hoed, furrowed, fertilized and planted!"  I replied, "You must have read my mind".  I have been champing at the bit to get my yard started as we are, after all, 'City Garden Farms'.

Broc got started with the tiller. This was quite a moment for me. Our dreams of Urban Farming are coming true in front of my eyes. How many evenings have I wandered into my back yard and sighed as I tried to imagine what I was going to do with all of this space...and how...and when was I going to find the time? Well you just gotta make it happen.  It's such a perfect yard too.  Maybe 7500 sq/ft, south facing, slightly sloped, the soil is great and we're only 1½ miles from our nearest farmers market. (How's that for food miles?!!!)

Broc got the tiller going and the story of Mossy Point begins!!!!

It took about 45 mins to till this 600 sqft section. Then we (Ahem ahem....Moss) raked off the clumpy sods before Broc re-tilled the area again. Moss raked some more and the Broc tilled some more and things started to take shape.

 

We worked for a couple of hours and made great progress. Broc fertilized and hoed in a furrow or two before it just got too dark to do anymore. And then it started to rain again. He's back tomorrow so we'll get it finished and planted then.See more Photos

And remember folks.....The more we grow the less you mow!!!!!
