Like every season I always do a partial tilling for my cold weather plants like spinach and lettuce. I will do a full tilling later on in the season around May or late April depending on the weather.
Today was windy but still warm enough to get some work done in the garden. I am hoping to plant all or the majority of my spinach tomorrow if I have enough time. I have about 22 plants and that should take only a couple of hours to complete. (more…)
It has been quite a long time since I wrote a post on my blog and since then it has been a busy week for gardening. With the weather getting much warmer and all my plants are enjoying the outside weather it was time to get started with tilling the garden.
I usually start tilling when the weather gets consistently warmer and usually is in the beginning of May. It all depends mainly on the weather especially if there has been much rain. I don’t like to till when the ground is too wet and is better to wait for the soil to dry a little bit. A moist layered soil is fine conditions for proper tilling. Take a look at these pictures of my tilled garden. (more…)
