Gardening Floyd: The Lower 40

Floyddate 6-6-11: Last fall we bought the 2.5 acres below us that came with a single wide trailer, a very nice chicken coop, an old shed that needs reclaiming, and a large garden area that had been plowed and grown on once and then let go.  We have a young family we're very fond of renting the trailer, we have our laying flock in the chicken coop, and we've started planting the garden.  I'll reclaim the shed later.

Gardening Floyd: Inspiration

Sigh.  It's raining again.  I was supposed to be going to the community garden to help with staking out beds so when the tiller arrives he'll know exactly what needs done, but it's pouring.  We could have done it in drizzle or a light rain, but no.  It's windy, whippy raining.  I need some inspiration.  Maybe you do too.  Here's some photos of our garden from last year.
