Isn’t plowing in the rain some kind of rite of passage for farmers? If so, I can check that one off the list. I got most of the back yard tilled up, in spite of the fact that it started raining as soon as I got the tractor hooked up. The back garden is also 1.5 tractor-widths wider than it was last year, and a good 10 feet longer. Dad’s idea, much to my surprise. I can’t tell if dad just hates mowing that much, or if he’s feeling the bite of grocery store prices. Possibly both.
I need to get at least part of the farm tilled soon. The logistics of that keep getting more complicated than they should be.
For Mother’s Day, I bought Mom 3 blueberry bushes and planted them under the spruce trees. The duff that’s built up there is just perfect for acid-loving plants like that. I may add some bloodroot or wintergreen as an understory crop.
More rain later today. We’re supposed to have a drought this summer, but so far we’ve had a waterlogged spring.

I’m taking a quick lunch break then will be back out there planting, today! Happy, Happy! :)
