Two more things I have in mind---
**Am thinking of growing a large batch of onions for the local farmers market.
We have bought from Dixondale Farms, Onion Plants Since 1913 - Onion Plants for years with great results.
Might grow a lot of a big and good-looking variety for the wife's pin money.
**Second, some of dirt over the septic system lines have settled in and it bothers me.
A couple years back I rototilled the area over it (six ft tiller), then dragged it with a harrow.
Seems I neglected to kill the grass first and the sod remnants prevented a good job and the settled area never went away.
Figure now to kill the grass first, wait a couple weeks and till/drag/seed again? Seems like it should work? AnY better ideas?

Yes...It's a nice 42 x 60 building with extra smooth concrete floor that I painted with floor epoxy. One of the smarter moves I have done.
I could just build one bench that's 32 ft long and nail it to the posts and be done with it.
But I figure that I could build rolling benches and be able to get behind them to vacumn. Like all barns I get bugs, moths and things and figure rolling would be a good idea. Would also keep the mice out i hope.
It's preliminary so I'm open to any suggestions. After all, rolling benches are a lot of work.

Our new home should be finished within 30 days so it will be time to get the lawn leveled and seeded. Other parts that are very rough due to dozer work last summer, don't know if I'm going to just bring in fill or disc it all up and then level.
Love landscaping so I have a blank slate to work on. Will be a very busy Spring/Summer.
