Soil Envy

So please indulge me for a moment.....last night my uncle came by and plowed up our garden area. We knew that this was the place that the previous owners had done a garden and we were sure that like everything else that we have found here that it was better than promised. All this time that area has been filled with weeds and random grass that we keep mowing down. Well last night when he plowed it up it almost brought tears to my eyes. The soil was absolutely amazing! I am used to the clay like soil of Roseville and the oh-so-rocky soil of Rocklin. This was a sight to behold. There was barely a rock to be found, yummy earth worms all throughout, and we even had a mole that came up out of his hole and was running around in the dirt for a while. The kids took turns "driving" the tractor and those who were not driving the tractor were riding in the bucket. Emmelyne asked if we could do this every week!
This is not our first garden that we have ever planted BUT I would not consider myself a Master Gardener by a long shot. I really know so little however I am willing to try. Do you think that it is a little ambitious to start out with a garden that is almost 3 times the size of our first house! Yep - that's right just under 4000 square feet of garden. Why not set out sights high? What have we got to lose? We only have a lot to gain. We made need help eating through all of the "fruits" of our labors.
The kids and I have been out today making raised beds 10 down - about 60 more to go! Do you have any kids you want to drop by and get some good work in? Bring them by - we could use the help.
