Tilling the Garden

A few weekends ago, we started to get the garden ready for raised beds (last year we used rows).  I think the chickens were more excited than we were.  They followed Allan around as he tilled.  They scratched up some nice, juicy worms.

Here, Nubby is busy searching for her next snack in the soft soil:

Our goal for this garden is to never have to till again!  We have a raised bed at home and love it.  We add fresh compost every year and rotate the crops and plan to do the same here.  Allan also saved old windows from our house to turn into cold frames!
