Good Morning!! 65 and mostly sunny! After 3 weeks of interruptions every day, I finished the last two raised beds yesterday in spite of another interruption.
Don, I may have missed it, but how did your keyhole garden turn out? Have you posted about it?
Yesterday, I tilled my garden for the 3rd time in a month. The 1st time was to turn over/under all the remains of this year's garden. It was dry and dusty. After a rain storm, I tilled again to dry out the surface and chop up the dead vegetation. In the process, I turned up quite a few rocks around the size of oranges and grapefruits. My grandson and I picked rocks. We only got about a 5-gallon bucket full for the entire garden. Kathy and I have been picking rocks every year when we put in the garden and tossing them around the fence. Since it rained again last weekend, I tilled one more time before taking the tiller off my tractor. The soil is nice and fluffy and I only turned up one more rock in the whole garden. I think we are about clear.
