Still to early for that yet here. Around the first of May I should be able to get my future son in law till my gardens. He has a compact NewHolland T1520 tractor. I think is the model number, any way I’m hoping he will do my gardens. Has a 5’ tiller on it. Tractor is 4x4 and 35 hp.

Garden looks great Dave, the pic helped warm me up a little this afternoon. Everything was white here today, 34 for a high.

They follow the tractor and further turn the soil removing seeds and bugs .

It is always nice to get help . We are zone 5b here , but because of the natural and man made berms around with the bush out back it creates a micro climate that pushes it up to almost a 6 .
We are hoping to get some early frost hearty crops in this weekend . Going to have to fence off what we plant , or the little dinosaurs
will dig it all up .

Thanks guys . The top soil is coming along good . It is a long ways from the baron sand that would barely support some grass when we first started .

tilling the garden today after school . Hopefully tomorrow we can get him to pound in the tee bar post for the temp fence to keep the birds out of the garden as we hill and plant . He is going to be getting a lot of seat time this spring while I am sidelined .
Anyone know where we can get little white hard hats for all the supervisors?
