Thanks to my wonderful neighbor Glenn, my garden is a work in progress:

First he plowed:

Then he came in with another contraption:

And now I have a plantable area.

Thanks, Glenn!

Glenn is indeed a wonderful man, you are so very lucky.

Welcome to the thread.

You live in a beautiful area, those trees are wonderful.

LOL, you would never guess that I don’t have trees like that to look at.

Praying that your garden will grow and you can repay Glenn with vegetables.

The plows and cultivators are so much better for your soil than rototillng. Not too many people use these tools nowadays. Tilling just takes one step and saves time but overprocesses the soil. We have the plows and cultivaters but sometimes just in too much of a hurry so till instead. Bad idea.

>>>Then he came in with another contraption:<<<

LOL you sound like my wife... Big city girl that she is...(raised in a huge metropolis of about 350 residents)

To her, farm equipment is either a tractor, plow, combine - anything else is a thingy. If it pulls it is a tractor, if it moves the soil, a plow, and if it is really big it is a combine.

So that ‘contraption’ appears to me from the picture - is a Ford 8N (possibly 9N but I can’t see where the distributor is) and he is using a 3 point hitch disk. I drove our 8N tractor many many hundreds of hours doing anything you can imagine.

Neighbors like Glenn are invaluable - bake him a pie sometime.

Hope he comes on and joins in...
