We are so excited to start thinking about our garden for next year! There's much work to be done as we have broken ground for a brand new garden space in a field. Long ago (way before hubby's grandfather bought the property initially) this area used to be used for tomato farming. Currently, it looks like a rock farm! Grandpa (Eric's father) rototilled about a 100 x 100 foot space a few months ago, so the rocks were "ripe" and ready for picking! We all got out there and picked up load after load and threw them in the little dump trailer. Even Emma really enjoyed tossing rocks!
The best part, of course, was getting to ride in the Ranger to go dump each load! Sometimes the big boys rode along, and other times they rode their dirt bikes along side.
After we had picked up the majority of rocks, hubby rototilled again.
And then we ran around and picked up even more rocks! Even Grandpa was out helping. :)
When all was said and done, we stood back and enjoyed the view of our new garden space. Dreams of row after row of scrumptious veggies danced in my head! There's a lot of work to be done in the months ahead, but the reward will be worth it!
