Don't worry, just thought I'd start this thread so I wouldn't have to post this in all of them. Want to let you know that I have decided to bow out of the COVID-19 threads. Nothing personal. Only letting you know so you don't think I'm ignoring you. Just getting too wrapped up in those discussions both here and on Facebook and having a more and more difficult time keeping my Christian composure.

I get it...
There's a lot of anger in a lot of people over their lives being majorly interrupted. Plans made for fun events are destroyed.

Then the hoarding of consumer supplies like toilet paper and groceries adds to that frustration.

Then the stock market tanked... making retirement portfolios go down in value.

Then some people advocate the dumbest things. From not taking this seriously to too serious. Voices of factual reason are being drown out.

All that frustration upon frustration adds up.
You lose your ability to extend grace.

I get it completely... especially if stuck in the house. (I'm not yet)

And where I'm not there yet...it's possible. But then again I keep my eyes on my feelings coffin that holds all those feelings that died and I don't have anymore...I wonder if I should resuscitate them...
Nahhhhhh.
 
Our governor issued a "stay at home" order to begin Friday night at midnight but in all reality with the spring thaw and the mud etc., I'm kind of stuck indoors for the most part anyway. Even with the stay at home order, I live on a small 87 acre hobby farm so I can still get out for fresh air and sunshine when possible. I'm hoping to be getting started with spring tillage in about three weeks too so that will give me things to do.

I tilled up our vegetable garden this week. It’s about 100x75 feet. Not gigantic but enough to grow a good bit and can a good bit. I will probably till about 4-5 times minimum before planting. Seems to help with weeds a lot. I never use any sprays so I rely on some simple things to keep it as weed free as possible.

I plant a garden every year as well. Not quite as large though. Tilling that much do you have any problems with the soil becoming compacted later on? Our soil has a lot of clay so if I pulverize it too much, it will get packed like concrete after a few good rains.
 
No problem with the soil. We had five horses for thirty years and that garden soil has a lot of former manure. A next door farm has two horses and I continue adding all I can from there. Our soil here is pretty easy to work. Whether a true gardener would agree with this or not, I use a lot of low quality hay from my field and all my grass clippings from mowing to keep weeds down to almost zero. By June there is about a three inch layer every inch that’s not a plant
