yhs: Fruits & Vegetables – Plot Preparation Part 1
So far, the most labor intensive process of the garden has been preparing the garden plot. Between mowing, plowing, tilling, raking and weeding, the majority of our time and energy thus far has been spent getting the ground ready for planting.
We’re fortunate to have a big fenced in pasture right next to our house that has been nothing but grass since the dinosaurs, as Andrew likes to say. Originally it was a field for horses, but there hasn’t been any there for nearly 20 years. It gets full sun all day (except for one area that gets shade towards the end of the day from a huge tree in our backyard) and seems the perfect spot for the garden.
We started the plot by measuring out the plot then mowing it.
Here is the plot after mowing, next step: plowing.
