Hooray! The rain has stopped for several days and the ground has dried so it is finally time to plow the cover crop of wheat under so we can get ready to plant the vegetables.

| Wheat cover crop |
The wheat, when plowed under will decay and fertilize the ground, adding nutrients. Once the ground is plowed, it will sit for about a week, then a disc will be used to cultivate the ground for a smooth planting area.

The youth from the Methodist Church will be coming this year to help plant potatoes. They will plant 200 pounds and then help harvest them in the fall to give to the local food bank. We are praying for a bountiful year.
