All three weekend warriors pitched in to prepare the backyard for planting day.
Several plants and bushes will go on the west side of the path, so Troy and Evelyn used the claw and the tiller to soften the ground.
Julia tried her hand at tilling, too. Look at that cheerful worker!
Troy came across several roots and stumps from days gone by. Some of the roots - like the one pictured below - were over six feet long! See the trimmers laying on the ground? Evelyn calls them "root choppers" because we used them to cut the thick roots. I'm sure that's
not what my Grandpa Miller called them, but that's what their name was today!
After about an hour or so of working in the dirt, we had a clean slate...all set for the big planting day tomorrow.
