Hang in there with that garden Lanse. I still grow a big one and give a lot of it away. No fun if you can't share. I helped Mom in the garden when I was a kid. We had a 1948 Allis B and two one row, one horse walking cultivators. They were hooked behind the B, me on one and my brother on the other. Dad would drive, straddling one row with us walking behind. He always wanted to do the job right after dinner when plant were flexible, Mom was a great cook and lots of it. Dad would always get sleepy after 1/2 hour or so of idling along in low gear and nod off. We would then bury the cultivators, stall the tractor before he could hit the clutch. Generally that meant hand cranking because we never had money to buy a new battery for it. After two or three times he usually lost his sense of humor. I have no idea where the cultivators went, but I still have the old Allis, all restored now. Great memories!!

One of my earliest memories was dad cultivating the garden with an old horse cultivator and. . . a horse! Actually, a team of horses- Tom and Jerry. Belgians, I think- anyway, they were black, and their heads were as big as I was. He got rid of them and got a tractor when I was about 4. By then, my sisters, and soon I, was big enough to do the weeding by hand and with hoes. I hated it at the time, but still grow a garden (I'll be 60 this summer), so I guess it didn't break my spirit completely.
