May 15

We have had a wet winter and spring. I was finally able to get into the garden to plow May 2nd and harrowed it on the 3rd. We are just waiting for the soil to dry out enough to plant potatoes. Things are looking good for tomorrow.





Here are some videos of the boys plowing with the Ferguson TO20 tractor.






Here are some pictures of the old man plowing or ploughing if you prefer the old world term. The plow is a single bottom with about a 16" moldboard. It works perfect with the 20 horse tractor. I still had the winter chains on the rear tires due to the fact that the manure that I spread a week before was very wet and green.
