I am sounding like a broken record, I know who plays records anymore; Magic Mike the Chef is one solid guy! We created flats of beets, kale, and turnips on a cold rainy day in the greenhouse. Thanx again Mike!

Used our Troy-Build vertical tines tiller yesterday. This is my go-to tiller, new technology sometimes can kick butt. One more pass and we start growing! Next year no tilling, no petroleum, no disturbing the microbios, earthworms and fungi in the soil. I keep learning!
