I swear I only posted once!

I replaced my tiller this week. Found one that was refurbished, with a warranty, and saved about $200 on it (along with my veteran's discount).
Only problem was the tines were installed backwards when I got it, and it took me a full day to figure that out. It beat me half to death before I figured that out.
Slowly, I'm getting my winter tilling chores done, when the days are good.

It’s 73 right now. Highs for the next week are supposed to be in the mid 70’s as well. It isn’t time to move stuff outside yet BUT it means all the blueberries and other stuff will be budding out. Hopefully we won’t get a hard freeze after they bloom. Who knows. This is the reason pretty much nobody in our general area got blueberries last year. We covered ours with plastic tarp for the 2 coldest nights and were the only game in town wrt blueberries.
I am going to try to root some cuttings once they do come out though. And start things that need to be started in cooler weather in flats on my porch. IF it gets brutally cold I can just bring them in for the night. I’ve got a bunch of echinacea, lavender and strawberry seeds to get going.
Sadly, all the warm right now means the bug population probably will NOT get appropriately zapped this year. For the second year running. *sigh*.
