I watered both gardens by 8am this morning, it's already hot out and the black flies are in full swing.
All of the transplants we put in yesterday seem to be doing well.
The Kale seed is up.
The remaining Peppers, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts (does anyone really eat these), cabbage and Tomatoes, and lastly Wax Bean seed are being planted today. It's supposed to be 80+ degrees, ugh... Have to try to get stuff done early I think.

Gardening Early in NH
We started working the gardens early this year, we actually could have worked them as of the end of April due to the warm dry spring.
Today was all about tilling, tilling, and still more tilling. We rented a Troy-Built Pony rear tined tiller this year, $12 per hour, I figured 4 hours should be plenty of time, I was wrong. While roto-tilling the gardens we've previously worked is not difficult, tilling the new garden areas is backbreaking work. We accomplished several things today.

- Removed the fence from around the South Garden.
- Tilled in 6 loads of composted manure into the south garden.
- Extended the South Garden ~20 feet for the larger squashes.
- Started Tilling the paddock area for a new garden area.
- Scoped out the new area beside the greenhouse for a new area as well.
