I love may!

Among other magical things that happen in spring one of the most exciting for me is getting the garden rotor tilled! With every turn of dirt is the promise of crisp cukes, juicy tomatoes, delicious corn, green beans, peas.... Need I go on? And images of sparkling, colorful jars lining the pantry shelves from the summers bounty! (My shelves are looking pretty bare right now!)

Our friendly bee-keeping neighbor came over with his big green tractor and got done in an hour and a half what would have taken us a day (at least) to do with a hand tiller!

We really need a tractor. Some day...

We have tomatoes, peppers and watermelon started, the garden mapped out and rest of our seeds in hand! The kids are taking full advantage of the freshly tilled dirt (the chickens are too!)

Happy gardening!
