The next step we needed completed was getting the ground tilled before Texas Organic could haul in a bunch of compost. David Poole, clear from Winona, hauled his tractor to the garden and did all of the tilling. He said, "Boy! Y'all are lucky that you have sand and not clay!!" We are grateful! When it gets mixed with the compost, the garden will be a productive site.
Full disclosure: David called en route and asked if it was raining at the garden. We were a couple of blocks away and there were a few sprinkles on our windshield. David said to let him know if it started to rain hard because he would need to turn around and come another day. I started praying in my heart, "PLEASE, don't let it start raining..." I felt a little bad because it has been soooo dry in this area.
When we got to the garden it started drizzling more, but not really raining. David called again and I assured him the dirt was dry. When we hung up, I prayed harder!!! By the time David arrived, the drizzling had ceased and the ground was dry. My apologies to everyone who is in desperate need of rain!! But I was SO grateful we were able to get the work done that needed to be...and a special BIG thanks to David for being willing to travel so far to help us out!!
