Holy Frijoles, This is a Lot of Work!!!

So I spent most of the day working outside, doing everything from cleaning the garage to trimming the front hedges, but most importantly, I worked in a freshly tilled garden! The feeling of soft, fresh earth compacting beneath your feet as you make your way across it is something that must be experienced by each and every person. I spent about an hour and a half in the garden today, raking and pulling clumps of clover and grass that had been tilled last Friday. I will probably not be planting any seeds for at least a week since we are supposed to be getting thunderstorms and showers for the next several days.

I should have attempted to rake the day that I planted, but I can't imagine doing everything in one day. I think that if you own your own tiller you could till a little bit at a time, rake when you finished and save the rest for another day.
