El burro.

Le mini-motoculteur (rototiller) arrived. Dubbed "the donkey", our red, gently-used Honda F210 kicks up a fuss--that is, once cajoled... When the mechanic who delivered el burro took more than a few tries on the kickstart, we looked askance and had some serious misgivings. But, fear not... Once we were out into the patch, nature--and multiple extortions--took its course...

Clay continues to be a challenge. We needed to add proper amendments into the mix to prepare the vegetable bed for planting...









Shoveling ensued...

and the raking...

oh, the checking of soil consistency...










and yet amending again...












There will be more amending in our future.
