First a garden

 We have a garden!

In the beginning.

After the first tractor came through, cutting up the sod.

We had another tractor come through to till the earth and break the sod up as much as possible.   Grass is extraordinarily resilient.  We are finding pockets of green grass here and there, where clumps of sod were turned under and not completely broken up.

We've planted onions, radishes, carrots, kale, and lettuce--
stuff we'll actually eat if it all turns out.

The seeds have sprouted, in spite of our best efforts and worrying and dithering.

Radishes

Now to see whether these seedlings will turn into full-fledged plants...
