hmm tried my version.  not so good.  either needs a big weight box then i wont be able to lift it with the winch line over the roof to the rear, or i need to get my angle on the teeth so it digs in on its own. 

boo!


fixed fuel system issue in the buggy though, cell inspected and collapsed hoses changed.

stuff like this is why i choose a sub compact tractor with a MMM vs a zero turn mower.   A lot more versatility.

ya but mowing with a 5mph tractor every week has got to bring the super suck. 


not sure my plan here.  i think the buggy has enough ass to do something, i just need to figure it out.

tomatoes are really taking off.  about 2" tall and leaves.  carrots, cucumbers and peppers not to far behind. 

started some window onions today from roots left over from onions i just used for dinner.  watched a few youtube videos and cant wait to get back to store to get green onions to start.  i guess you can grow them all year long and just keep clipping the tops!  crazy i wish i know that before i buy 2-3 bunches every time im at the store.

Just leave an onion be, it'll sprout and you get get chives out of your veggie bowl on the counter for a couple weeks if you want!
