It is raining today which is good. It's even better that I got the garden tilled yesterday.
Spread eight bags of composted manure, four bales of peat moss along with a sprinkling of triple 19 fertilizer over the top and turned it all under with the rototiller. A good all day light soak will settle it all together in preparation for a follow-up tilling and early planting of my cool weather crops; namely radishes, spinach and lettuces.
Cool weather you ask? Yes, when you live halfway between the equator and North Pole recent overnight lows continue to hover around 40F.
The only hitch in this springtime ritual was a flat tire on the tiller. It took awhile to get the bead to seat on the tubeless tire to inflate it. Unremarkably, WD-40 fixes everything.
