Till’ tomorrow (or yesterday, actually)
Friday, October 31st, 2008
There it is. The first tilled row of the GGP. At the crack of 8 am (huck it up, farmers…that’s early for us city-folk!) I was out there, tilling up my back yard. The actual tilling itself took about 3 hours. We had to go over each row multiple times, stopping to dig up rocks and sundry other oddities. Among the strange things found that had to be removed: 3 cigarette lighters, a 2′ x 4′, a Happy Meal toy, broken glass, an old irrigation pipe that went nowhere, and concrete support posts for what apparently used to be a deck. The final stage was going over everything one final time, my son in my lap (he LOVES tractors!) to make sure the yard was as level as possible. (more…)
