Planting.............

We are finished!!

The earliest ever done. Finished on Monday , May 24. I took a few pictures yet that I want to share. I hope you will appreciate them.

This top picture on the left shows the Rez-Till on the left and the planter on the right. These were taken in the last field we planted. We even had to plow a few more acres to finish the seed we had. To expensive to throw it away. You can see the plow in the picture below here on the right.

All three tractors working in the same field. Going from a green hayfield, into a planted field of potatoes on the same day. Bet it was quite a shock to the foxes that cross it daily.


Another picture of the planter on the bottom. Taken in a different field that morning. You can see how dry it was. We had a nice rain on Tuesday. It was very welcome. So now it is time to clean everything, do some more grading, spread fertilizer and all that other fun stuff that keeps us going all summer. I hope you will enjoy your summer..............

Tractor came in handy. It saved a lot of digging with the shovel. All the topsoil was removed.

We took out the bushes and transplanted them into new beds. First I scooped the sod of the lawn where the beds had to go. Then transplanted whatever mom wanted to save. Also with the front end loader of course. Otherwise there would not be enough dirt left around the roots. And we like healthy bushes and plants.




Here is a look at the new beds. We basically connected the Weeping Willow.


And went right to the Maple tree.


In the last picture you can see that I added rocks back in front of the house. The next step will be............
