This is our new pool at Windmill Hill. It isn't very deep, nor is it clean, but it will not drain out for hours!
I needed to extend my short bed, and I knew the shovel wouldn't go into the dirt here as it existed since time immemorial. So, with great effort and horsepower, the tractor was able to scoop about three inches out. I put the hose in and filled up the trench. In about two hours, it had soaked into the hardpan. Then, the tractor scooped out another three inches or so. This picture was taken after I filled it up again. This was an hour later! Tomorrow we will take the pickax after it to loosen the bottom. Ugh!
The other picture is the sprinklers trying to coax the carrots seeds into germinating. Isn't it pretty in the late afternoon light. In the foreground, buckwheat has come up all in the broccoli bed. No problem.
