Default bits of spring

it is so nice to be able to get back outside

I must be quite a ways south of you ... Our new strawberries are doing
well , we have lettuce and bok choy up enough to start thinning , and

on his Harley , scored a pair of outer tines from a tiller he's scrapping
that fit my free tiller . Now I can get close to twice the area done in the
same time . I still have some prep to do before I can plant the new area .
