Progress!

Finally, despite a frigid May 1st wind that made it feel more like late October, we actually got out and muddied our shoes. Tfoster wins the best dressed award for farm-themed gear. From the parking lot I thought, "Who's that old farmer dude talking to Hungrygirl?" Turns out it wasn't an old dude at all...anyway, here are some pics to prove we actually made a dent.

The first casualty.


A little progress.


And a little more. (Keep in mind that we can't feel our fingertips at this point)


And at long last, we get some seeds in the ground.
