On Your Mark, Get Set, GO!

Although, not as warm as it was on Friday it didn't prevent me from getting out in the yard yesterday to get some long over due exercise. As it worked out the temperature was just right for manually tilling my vegetable gardens. The winter rye I planted in the fall, as well as the compost I spread over the snow has all been turned into the soil. The hard part is now done and the gardens are sitting at the starting gate ready to grow...

There were oodles of earthworms with each shovel I turned, which is a very good sign. I did, however, find approx 25+ grubs, which is not a good sign but the chickens sure did enjoy them!
