We started planning on having a garden last fall. We plowed it then so the grass clumps would have plenty of time to rot plus the freezing and thawing is apparently good for the soil. Since plowing last fall, we have disced and tilled our gardens a few more times this spring. This past Saturday, I spent 3 hours in our little garden hoeing and getting the last of the grass clumps out. Three weeks before that my guys spent an entire day clearing the rocks out. I'm grateful they took that chore upon themselves seeing that we can really grow some boulders around here. We had enough rock in our gardens to complete half of our walkway behind our house! Once we start planting the seed, I'm sure we'll find even more walkway ready rocks. With the past month's weekends full of preparing our garden I think it's finally time to plant our seeds! Whew...wasn't sure this day was actually coming with all the preparation time. For the next 4 days, we rest (thanks to the weather mostly) then the planting begins!
Do you ever plant by the Farmer's Almanac? If so, comment on how that has worked out for you. Did you notice a difference in your harvest compared to years when you didn't follow the Almanac?
