Yeah baby.  Use two of the herd today.  One to grade and one to till.  The only reason to Garden is to get seat time

 Also built one compost bin.  

You use the same compost bin method as I do. By the time the compost is finished the bottom half of the pallet is composted too.

Tilled mine here in OKC last week. Going to start planting next  week. Wish I had as much area as you have. Still I used a wheel horse to do the work.

Regarding the compost bin.  I suspected as much. But pallets are plentiful and often free. Never gardened before so this is all new to me

Looks interesting, just make sure your pallets aren't pressure treated, you don't want any of those chemicals in your compost.  And when the pallets are done, you might be able to just flip them over and get more use out of them.

That is exactly what I do. They are initially filled to the top with leaves and clippings; at one year old I combine two or three together and at the end of the second year they are ready to use. We add kitchen scraps (peelings, egg shells nut shells etc.) throughout the year. My wife is a city girl and was very skeptical but has become a real convert.

Last year around the time of the may 24 weekend, we had a heavy frost that wiped out my garden.

 

If this year is like that it will be even longer till planting time.

Well bless her heart. I do the veggies and my bride handles to flowers. Try some tight fitting nitrate mechanic's gloves for your bride.  It might help, but not every time.B)

I am hoping to go a little earlier than this. Started seeds yesterday. Made up several seed tapes too. Tractors are ready to go. I have the use of my arm back this year. So, I am excited and even more "chompin at the bit" to get going than usual.  Happy gardening all.. Pat
