Well, we had a rough start at the beginning of May. Becky, Barb and I worked really hard tilling and digging to start prepping the soil for official seeding. We had gotten about 4 rows of starters (seeds we had started back in March) in and thought we were on the ball..Well, as luck would have it we got screwed by the neighbors.. Farmer Joe had thought he gave us the right 1/4 acre plot, but he got it wrong and gave us an area that had already been committed to other seasonal farmers. Those farmers were not happy that someone else was on their land, so the first week of May, Becky and I went to work a bit on the land and boy were we shocked to silence (ya, that is amazing!)..
Becky and I arrive at the land, only to find that these "neighbors" had pulled all our stakes and label, thrown them aside and had the whole field tilled.. That's right, everything we had worked on was GONE!!! Completly GONE!!
We just stood there in such shock, that it was kinds errie..You just can't believe this has actually happened. Someone was that lame to go in and completely destroy everything that you had worked for..
So, after we recovered from the initial shock of the destruction, Becky blurts out "I wish them rashed in places that would hurt".. I thought that was hilarious, since alot of people would start ranting and swearing and thinking off all the revenge they could pull off, Becky just wishes bad charma on them.. I had to just laugh!
So, to make a long, hilarious story short, Farmer Joe felts so bad that he hired another farmer with a tractor tiller and had him come till the "right plot" so it was all ready for us to plant..
Ok, that is it for tonight.. There will be more about the actual process soon..
Chow!
