Today I prepped row 6 in the garden. I'd say about 15 feet of it had been taken over by crabgrass due to questionable decisions by the former owners, but some effort over the next few years should get it clean.

We trenched down 3 feet last year and packed with horse manure. That's composted and now my dry-ass sandy New Mexico soil looks like Amazon loam. Next week we plant sugar peas and start digging up another row.

Oy my aching back.
