I’ve heard of tillers you can hook up to your tractor’s PTO, my wife’s cousin has one, and she said I ought to go borrow it. But, that was before the tractor broke down. They live in the other side of the hillside from us, so I don’t know how to get it over here, other than driving the tractor almost 7 miles on the road, which I do not like doing. I’ll just have to wait to fix mine. I think I can do it, but I’m prob going to need assistance, but thankfully I have neighbors would would help out.
My other BIL who lives on the other side of the farm from us said he’d disc it for us, but he won’t be off until Friday, and the ground will be too wet to disc then.
I thought half-runners were pole beans, not bush? Take it from me, canning is very easy, it is a bit time consuming, but it’s worth it to open up a fresh jar of beans, or corn in the middle of especially winter, and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Like @JustAnne4 says, it’s like opening up a can of summer when it’s cold out. We’ve had Honey Select, we like it very much. We have quite a bit of it canned.
I do like veggie gardening, but all this fruit planting already has me a bit burned out. At least next year my fruit related work will change to pruning, fertilizing and spraying as opposed to planting trees. Plus, we’re not going to plant as much veggies as in the past, either. Too much other work to do around here. I already have more area to mow now that I want my orchards to look neat. I think that brings the area mowed to about 2 acres, and it has to be done every ten days or so.
