Nice videos RNG. Snow sure does make things look pretty. What fire?...
lot of trees down
6 hours planting today, starting at 7:30am and I'm a bit tuckered out. Got most of "first shift" planted, all the cabbages, lettuce, kale and spinach transplants. Decided to ask the food pantry if they could get some volunteers to help me plant these 2000+ collard plants. That plus the potatoes about to arrive has a few too many really big plates in the air for me, and they have kept asking me how they can help.
Collards are supposed to be transplanted when two leaves are showing. I am definitely late getting them into ground.
Tomorrow my neighbor comes over to help me put up the deer fencing around the garden, figure it's about time with the lettuce in the ground.
Momma Rabbit will be around soon... And while he and a helper are doing that, I'll be rototilling the fields. Just a little too damp today.
One more day, plus I was too busy today anyway. My neighbor will help me hill the fields, me on the Super A and he on the little Massey with the rear hiller/cultivator. The latter is a great tool, from Everything Attachments, I found very quickly I could not turn my neck around without great pain using it. So not the right tool for me. It has a furrower attachment which will go down the top of the hill and leave a nice six inch deep furrow, just perfect for dropping potatoes in.

Will be interesting to fire up the Super A tomorrow, see how much it smokes after sitting there all winter. I've started it up once a month, fires right up. I need to grease the rototiller, only one zerk, and then grease the Super A, which has zerks everywhere, some behind a hidden panel.
At least the owner's manual is clear on what to do. Actually a lot clearer than most modern manuals... I need a day off from planting so tomorrow will be quality seat time.
