I'm still waiting to get my tiller back from the repair shop. They've had it over six weeks now. My plan has been to start hand digging the periphery of the new garden, but every Friday and Saturday in the last month it has rained so hard to turn the area into an oozy mess if I don't wait a few days and let it dry. I'll have to take a couple of weekdays off pretty soon to get my mowing done as well as start my digging. My garden will go in late, but we have a long growing season that will accomodate this problem.

In addition to my usual veggies (tomatoes, eggplant, peppers of several sorts, onions, etc.) I am planning to plant some seeds I saved from last year, for tomatoes and melons I liked. Israel melons, in particular.
