Kregerdoodle Posted February 7, 2008 #1 Posted February 7, 2008 Gonna get the tiller out this weekend and get the Garden spot tilled up, and then till the flower beds and get mulch spread and ready to go... May even get in some riding.... Gos Bless Texas!!
Lone Eagle Posted February 7, 2008 #2 Posted February 7, 2008 Sounds like too much work to me, Kreg - go riding first - then do the work - you would have renewed energy :rotf:
Yammer Dan Posted February 7, 2008 #3 Posted February 7, 2008 Tiller??? Don't put that word where the Warden can see it. At least two months away here. Thats what I've been telling her!!
Eck Posted February 7, 2008 #4 Posted February 7, 2008 Sorry, but I dont have time for flower gardens, shrubs and or hedges.. Eats up gas money (and my time) I can use for riding..
Guest Popeye Posted February 7, 2008 #5 Posted February 7, 2008 I live on an acre of rock, way up a hill, covered with about 3 inches of topsoil. It took me a weekend, once, to dig three 42 inch holes for posts. I used a pick axe & a 25 lb spud with a chisel tip for most of it. No tilling here, but no free lunch, either. For some reason, the area is heavily wooded; some 90 ft tall. [??] Can't dig a hole & plant one, though. I use days when there is a good chance of rain, to trim endless trees & other 'have to' chores.
Mariner Fan Posted February 7, 2008 #6 Posted February 7, 2008 I'll get the tiller out......once I put away the snow blower!
Guest KitCarson Posted February 7, 2008 #7 Posted February 7, 2008 Garden has been tilled up..........onions and cabbage planted.......radishes and spinach also..........Have to wait till April 1, though for much else......it sometimes snows around here last week of March..........

I don't have a tiller you want to come on over and do mine too. :crackup:Ok maybe not guess it would be a bit far to go with a tiller, how many mpg do you think it would get on the trip? Margaret

Guest tessa c2 Posted February 8, 2008 #10 Posted February 8, 2008 not really, be there just in time to mulch the ground after she has dug her spuds out:banana:
Guest longtrain59 Posted February 8, 2008 #11 Posted February 8, 2008 I'm with you Kreg, time to get the garden ready. I plan to do my 2nd tilling this week end. The local feed store is getting onion sets in. I have to get 'em asap, they go fast around here. I have all my seeds ordered, hope they come in soon. I was wrestling with a decision to do the BBQ ride to salt lick or do the garden. since I have several parts off the bike right now, the garden won. Enjoy the garden, I know all my neighbors do.
sarges46 Posted February 8, 2008 #12 Posted February 8, 2008 No garden here thanks be to God! We had one at our last home and grassed it over. With our jobs and the shift work....plus riding and doing things with the kids there just wasn't time to "work" in the garden. And, I dont enjoy it enough to call it relaxing or stress relief...to me it was just work. I have to admit to loving fresh outta the garden produce though....in-laws have a big garden and we raid that all the time!
Yammer Dan Posted February 11, 2008 #13 Posted February 11, 2008 WArden reminded me of the things I have to trim before sap starts flowing again!! Maybe if I just cut them down!?
Guest KitCarson Posted February 11, 2008 #14 Posted February 11, 2008 WArden reminded me of the things I have to trim before sap starts flowing again!! Maybe if I just cut them down!? Do not cut down any trees....you will really get in trouble for that one!! There was an old scraggly pear tree by the corner of the garden....always in the way, never any good fruit......one day cutting down a pine tree it accidently on purpose fell on top of the pear tree......broke it off......had to cut it down the rest of the way........She did not notice if for about a month........boy when she did.........she still does not believe that it was an accident. :rotfl:

Guest Saddletramp Posted February 11, 2008 #16 Posted February 11, 2008 :322:God bless Texas, and everything else west of the Mississippi, I'd rather be tilling than blowing snow and carrying firewood!!!
Yammer Dan Posted February 12, 2008 #17 Posted February 12, 2008 She plants things now and puts a can around them til they get big enough not to run over. If I'm mowing and see a can go flying................
