Last tractor, we hope.....

We hope to have a mule and plow in here on Saturday to start building the raised beds, and after that, we also hope the garden will be entirely worked by hand. There might be a few areas that require the use of a lawn mower and a weed eater, but other than that, all by hand. God willing. Thanks to the Callicutts for providing the "fertilizer" for our community garden. Having a stable less than a mile from the garden is a plus.
