Gardening Time

We decided it was about time to get serious about gardening, so we had our good friends the Hickles over for dinner and asked their advice about how to get started. Not only did they give us good advice; they lent us a tiller to break some ground -- even delivered it to our house! Dan got home from appointments a few hours later and went right to work breaking the ground -- just in time, since the next day we had a big rain! Now we start the gargantuan task of making it soil fit for growing things -- it just ain't Illinois dirt!
Every farmer needs willing helpers -- 2 of the cutest ones around!
