About 4 weeks ago we planted some radishes and onions. Then we got the freeze and ice, but luckily it didn't hurt anything as it only lasted a few hours. That was 2 weeks ago, and it's been spring like since then. The grass is green and the trees are coming out full of leaves. Today it was a wonderful 80 degrees, so I went out and worked on the little vegie garden. Usually I just till it and plant but this year I put the tractor back there with a root plow and then a single plow. The area is really too small for the tractor (Ford 3000), but I wanted to save my back this spring.
This area is only 16 feet wide and 60 feet long so it was a PITA backing the tractor in there each pass, but hey it worked! Then I rigged up a piece of PVC pipe and began putting some Rio Grande River water down the rows. In a few days when it dries some I'll get it planted (with whatever the wife says to plant).
And just before dark we pulled some more radishes. I had to get a picture of the bag full from tonight, looks like I'll be giving a bunch away as there is no way the two of us can eat all these!
To you folks up north, hang in there......the warmth is heading your way.....it really is!

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
