Day 72 - Hard work never killed anyone (but why risk it?)

My poor husband worked his tail off yesterday as he dug up and turned over a 12'x12' garden plot by himself. The boys - Alcott and his older brother - were supposed to come over to help out but both of them just blew it off, leaving TCB (with a little bit of help from Alcott's 17-year-old sister and I on rock removal/bed smoothing and leveling duty) to do the whole thing on his own. In the end, the two beds intended for veggie planting (including carrots, beets, kale, celery, corn, eggplant, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, and peas) were turned over, but we still need to get soil amendment added, then we'll actually get to the planting. Bonus: While we were out there sweating, I started feeling a little unsteady on my feet...thankfully it was just a massive earthquake and not vertigo. (Yikes!)
