Tilling Day





Tuesday was tilling day here at the Gunter swamp farm. Matty rented a tiller for the tractor and tilled the garden plots.

We've been behind on this task because of all the rain we've had this spring. It's a good thing we managed to till yesterday, because it's raining AGAIN today! Thankfully, I also managed to plant the rest of the onions.

Matty plowed an area for the "melon patch" as well as the large garden plot where the main garden plants will go.

In between tilling, we visited a garden shop and Rural King, and came home with 2 new turkey chicks. They've joined the 8 little yellow puff balls we purchased last week on sale at the Tractor Supply Store. So our poulty total is now at 28.

Matty also ordered 100 quail eggs to start incubating. Oh, the insanity!

Lastly, here are some pics of the spring plants coming into their own.
