Garden Preparation

Today is our day for garden preparation. We will be tilling to loosen the soil, which has been baking with no water for several weeks. The last couple of days we put the drip lines on and moistened the soil so it will be ready for tilling today. The nursery's are starting to carry fall tomato seedlings, and the Maricopa County planting calendar says now is the time to get those in the ground although the nursery person told me it is still too hot. So we will till the soil today and incorporate all the material in the mulch pile.
