The last two years we have had to hand turn our garden. This is not an easy task and often left me sore, with a blister or two and, perish the very thought, with a broken finger nail!
This year Hubby worked on an old tractor that he has had for a very long time, and got it working. The Gravely Tractor has a rotary plow on it. Hubby used this to turn the soil in our garden. It took him less than an hour. I have no aching muscles and the garden is all ready for planting at the end of next week!

Fritz helping his Daddy till the garden!
Fritz is exhausted from all his work in the garden!
While Hubby was engaged in this activity, I was in the house making muffins, doing laundry, and planning meals. Ah yes, the fun never ends!
Tomorrow we are heading to Boston to go to Museum of Fine Arts to see their special “El Greco to Velazquez: Art during the Reign of Philip III“ . This should be a wonderful exhibit! We’re meeting friends and after our tour we will go off to get some lunch.
We have puppy sitters coming in to take care of the crew. Honestly, having four dogs is like having quadruplets! You can leave them for short periods, but really need a sitter to come in and keep things from becoming too chaotic!
Fritz looks really cute all tired 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow!
Guess the poison ivy is better, huh? Have fun at the museum.
Garden looks like a lot of hard work went into it so far! It’s supposed to be a great weekend so hopefully you will get a lot of outside time.
Oh geez ! what a lot of work ! fortunately our garden has the size of a handkerchief and there is only grass in the middle and bushes around ! Fritz really is his shadow, lol !
When we visited Boston we were disappointed, it looked sooo European to us and not American at all, lol !
Today I will have workers on our roof to clean it, take of the moss and paint it. That will be a lot of dirt !
Hi Mom,
Hope you have a wonderful time at the exhibit!
Love you,
Mandy
Growing up my family had a huge garden. Huge!
Now I can only manage about 4 tomato plants. And even then that goes poorly. (sigh)
Gotta love power tools, eh?
Goodness, Fritz sure was a big help, huh! 🙂
Poor Fritz. Having to work that hard. He’s such a beauty. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
Long time since I’ve been visiting I can tell – sorry!
You seams to have a lot of farmers in the family and they’re all doing a great job 🙂
OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!
What did you do to the lawn??? lol Remember, I am a GREENKEEPER, so I positively LOVE turf!
Seriously, I hope that this years vege patch goes well for you, with a bumper crop. Do you do any ‘companion planting’ as well to attract bees for pollination?
