I help with 3 gardens. Mom's kitchen garden with the raspberries, strawberries, grapes and normal vegetables. She gets out and picks things, but has an arm problem and so the tilling and hoeing fall to me and the brothers.
My sand garden is just for watermelons--but it is 1/8 acre or so and my 1/4 acre ? pumpkin and squash garden by the cabin is just for the River Road Ramble on September 28th this year.
The 1972 Cub Cadet Grandpa bought from Nelson Implement in Grantsburg (forerunner of Maki), is my cultivator.
You can watch it in action.
