Gardening...almost

The man at the equipment rental store assured me that cutting the sod for a 30'x30' garden would only take about 15 minutes. True...but rolling it and removing it took an extra 8 hours. Good thing I had some help from the kids. Finally, when all the sod was gone, I was excited to take the tiller to the soil and get started only to find the soil so hard and clay-like that the tiller just bounced around on top of the earth. SO, I called up a farmer friend of mine...






Grandpa with the plow.










Thanks, Grandpa!
