DIRT






Precious, beautiful dirt. Lots of it. Can you smell the fresh turned earth? Can you feel the dirt in your fingers? Soft, grumbly...ohhh the rich aroma!!

Due to poor planning on my part, our first growing season, this year we had to till again in mass quantities. From here out our beds will be permanent and crop rotation will allow us to cover crop and only till as needed in small areas - we hope. Every day is a learning process.

We rented the tractor from Ripley's Rental in Red Wing, had it for the day, and went to work. We retilled our existing fields and added some other areas for herbs and flowers. We would like to thank Evan for driving and Amaya for misting us with water.
