and so it begins..

This week I finally was able to get in the soil and start planting some of my seeds! Trust me when I tell you I was giddy about this! With the weather doing what it did, we needed a few days of dry winds before getting back in to the field so Adam worked in the yard and took some time Monday afternoon to till my garden with the tractor attachment {SO much easier than the green beast I used earlier!}and then proceeded to help us seed peas, potatoes & popcorn. I have many more seeds/veggies to go..but this was a nice start!

After Adam ran thru the garden with this amazing attachment, we spread on some inoculant over where I will be growing my peas {My brother in law promises me that I will be growing more peas than I know what to do with!}

And then after all of that prep work was done, it was time to plant my first rows of peas! I will be planting a new row every 2 weeks so as to keep the harvest going even longer in the season. Reason being is that although my hubby & I do love fresh peas..I happen to know a father in law who really loves them too ;)

I never knew this contraption existed before but it is just about the best thing since sliced bread! It is a seeder that comes with different sized discs according to the size of seed you are planting. It spaces the seeds out for you, digs the trench and covers it back up! All just by pulling and pushing it along! Genius!!

I have to say I am truly ecstatic that I finally get a vegetable garden to play in that is all my own. I have wanted one for years but just never got around to it nor had the ability, yard wise. But this year is the year! It is truly an experimental garden for sure and I am anticipating many failures..but heres to hoping for some successes as well!
