BREAKING GROUND ON OUR NEW GARDEN

I am SO exhausted! We went up to our land and started getting our garden ready. It's a new garden so we also have to get rid of the sod!! How I wish we had rented a sod remover first and then the rotatiller. It's going to be quite a bit of work to get that sod out of there. But we will get it done this week.

The stupid rotatiller cord broke while hubby was tilling the ground. He had about 3 or 4 more rows that he needed to do a second and third pass on. So, we were pretty close to getting it done. He tried to fix it, but it didn't work. Of course, he can't move this monster of a machine, because it won't roll unless you have it started up. And there is no way someone is going to pick that thing up! LOL. So, tomorrow morning he is off to the rental place to find out what they want to do about it.

The kids had a blast too. Little princess was having so much fun digging in the dirt and my older son kept having to chase after the little guy because he didn't stay in one place for long. LOL. Of course, there we were on 14 acres (our land plus hubby's uncle's) that he could roam around on and all he wanted to do was go up and down the steps! LOL.

I am hoping we will be able to get our vegetables planted sometime this week and then we will be putting up a fence around the garden - so the bunnies and especially the deer don't eat our food. I am dead tired and ready to go to bed. It's not even 11 o'clock yet. That's crazy for me. I am usually one of those people who stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning. So, off to bed I go. Hope everyone had a wonderful day (and enjoyed the beautiful weather if you live in the Northeast). Good night!
