Visit #2 to our garden

This morning we were up and at our garden around 9am. Today Ben has the day off, so we've decided to go work more on our plots. We have purchased 2 plots in the main garden area. Its a pretty good location, as they are located by the compost bins, the tool shed, and the kids area. Today our goal was to focus on the less "desperate" of the two plots, by doing heavy weeding and tilling by hand. We managed to get a little less then half of it done...its hard work!
Neither of our plots has been worked recently, so there are tons of hideous weeds, rocks, and stubble to be removed before we can use a motorized tiller and then add compost. And then, once all that is done, we can start planting our early crops....then we've got the second plot waiting to be conquered!
