Winter Rye And Spring Readiness

Today was on the chilly side with morning showers, so kinda blah for a Saturday. However, a perfect day to turn the garden soil in preparation for planting vegetables come May.

As I've been doing for years now, every Fall I plant Winter Rye in my garden and raised veggie beds.  It typically gets started before the real cold weather arrives, then really pops come spring and the warmer weather, as you can see in the top picture below.

After - All turned by hand -

Jack 2.0, our ~8 year old mini lop rabbit enjoys the fresh Winter Rye too -

As it usually does, it'll be days before I can stand fully straight again...
