I set up our new sprinkler, which worked beautifully; it will save us a lot of time this year. I also jumped on our hand-me-down tractor and re-tilled a particularly jungly part of our field. And then the tractor broke down. Which was a total drag, because I had been rejoicing all day at how having the tractor was like having a couple extra helpers. But a visit from Mr. Gallant, the equipment repairman, solved the problem quickly. And now I know, if the tractor won't start, to jiggle as many parts as possible until it does!! Meanwhile, we await a new key-socket, as that's where the problem seems to be.
Despite the setback, I was still able to sow the first beds of radishes, turnips and beets.
In the greenhouse, the kale and broccoli I sowed on Saturday have already germinated.
