Happy Spring! We’ve made great progress with the garden. We rented a rototiller again and did another couple passes to dig further down. F finished mowing the acreage while I tilled, so it’s all set for spring. It looks great.
We staked out the garden with string and I hoed rows. F repaired and replaced lots of stuff on the irrigation system so now it doesn’t leak.
(It’s amazing how few words can be used to narrate such time-consuming and labor-intensive activities!)
We put water down the rows but it travels too fast and pools at the end, so right now we’re fine tuning that. Also, the beds are too tall. More fine tuning.
Other springtime sights:
Apricot trees bloom too early in Colorado (it probably got nipped the other night):

Happy spring ♡
What exciting progress you’re making! Is the soil just moist so that it looks dark, or is that dark color suggesting it’s rich soil – sure looks good from here! And what an amazing watering system. Looks like that will make up for it being drier than what you were used to in Denver – tho there’s nothing like the real thing from the clouds….but that irrigation should get you close to the real thing. Great fix-it job F! Carry on!
