Crawl, Walk, Run

Rain coming this weekend.  Wanted to get some grass clippings into some back field beds ahead of it so they'd have time to decompose before the pepper and tomato transplants go in.  Kristie was there to help me, praise be to allah, and the final bed forming was done with a rake.  That is not the ideal method.  There are things you can drag behind your tractor that do that for you.  I do not have one of those things.  Yet.  I figure I'll bathe in the suck this first year and if things go well I can start adding to the 'labor saving' devices as we expand.
