.The Garden

The garden this year is in great shape, and will be ready to plant after a couple tillings because last year I burned the grass off of it, with the help of my Mom, weeded it it, and then tilled and planted it. The paths were covered with black plastic, and mulch was put on that, which kept the weeds from retaking the garden as fast. The beds were covered with leaves, and I have already planted some spinach this year, which is growing very well. This weekend we should be planting potatoes. The biggest problem that we had last year was the deer. The deer ate all the okra, almost all the sunflowers, all the green beans, and a lot of lettuce. Besides that, the garden flourished until we went on a trip for a couple weeks.
The tiller that we have is a little Honda, a four-stroke, which works like a charm. My advice to you if you are thinking about getting a tiller is, get a Honda four-stroke, and if not that, just four-stroke, because two-stroke tillers will not last, if they ever work good. Below is a picture of the garden from last year just before it was put away, so to speak.
