First Planting 2012

I cut loose from work a little early today.  The sun was shining, and a nice breeze was blowing.  I came home, suited up for gardening, and went to the garden.  The big tiller cranked on the third pull.  I plowed up two long rows and planted radishes, lettuce, and sweet peas.  I left room for cabbages, broccoli, and brussels sprouts, and I'm going to plant some tomorrow, if I can find any.

My "son of another mother" called me over the weekend with the news that he has delivered a 2-row breaking plow down to Nanny's.  Sure enough, there it sat, not far from the shed, when I got to the garden.  If we can get the little Ford tractor to crank, I sense plowing lessons in my future.

And, yeah, I'm missing Pop-Pop.
