I got most of my garden tilled today, last year got a very late start with all the rain, see if I can get the rest done.

i'm still looking at 1' of stiff snow sitting on top of my garden. gonna let it lie fallow this year anyways, since it's the Shemitah. let the land rest and then see what increase the Lord gives in the following years.

i guess that means that this year is better for planting spiritual kinds of things...
