Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Both tractor have solar heating for when the cold winds blow . And air conditioning with the doors off .

Garden soil looks good Dave. I like your team of helper chicken!

Garden looks amazing David. Harry

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 .

Wasn't much warmer here . But in the cab with the sun shining it was quite pleasant.

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 .

Jacob 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?

Dave! Jake's doing stuff now he can build a life on later.

That’s awesome Mr. Dave! Looks like he’s doing a great job!

As for the extra small helmets for the supervisors, apparently you only need to look as far as the local Walmart!

That is hilarious @JSinMO ! I can picture an army of chicken in Mr Dave's yard all with helmets. Poor rooster!

Well , got to do the rows with the hiller when he got home from school . Much to his shigrin I might add . Dealling with a grumpy teenager is like , well . But some of it got done , kinda sorta . Relying on others is hard enogh for me , but when it is a teen The and I will plant the first of the early crops tomorrow .

I don't know where I heard it, apparently teenagers are difficult.

Look at the bright side Dave, he did do it.

Just in Case you need to see dirt turned .

Lookin' good Dave, and nice to see your guard chickens are on duty too...

Last row , My new high tech alignment sights worked really well . Nice straight even spacing . A little tape and a few wood stakes pushed into ground . Line up your sights and just knock them over at the end of the rows.
