From Philly to a farm: The adventures of two urban transplants learning to live in a 150-year-old farmhouse in Germansville, PA.
Last week, while the weather was warmer, I got a chance to dig up the first plot of our garden.

On the left is the spot before I dug up the turf; on the right is the finished project, around four hours later. It measures around four feet by 10 feet.
I planted some shallots and beets. That part of the project took me about 10 minutes.
