Tilling the Field

Yesterday our friend Mark came over early in the morning and volunteered to till the field for our garden since Andrew is not able to do it because of his shoulder surgery. What a friend!! So, we gave him some coffee, pizza, soda, beer and conversation (mainly from two little "farmers") and he did hard manual labor for us for several hours :). After that, the soil was like butter so Andrew was easily able to spread it around and begin some planting. Here are a few pictures of Andrew planting the first seends in his very first garden! We plan on getting the plants we have started in the sunroom (which are now quite large) outside this week.

I can't even remember the vast variety of vegetables and fruit we are attempting to grow, but hopefully most of them will be successful and we'll be able to celebrate our harvest all summer long!
