Getting Ready

Part of the job of having a big corn garden is getting the soil ready.  Kernel Husks, our grandpa, is letting us use his tractor to till the land.

We found a lot of  wood chuck holes.  Wood chucks like to burrow into the ground to make their homes.  This keeps them safe from preditors.  Unfortunately, since they like gardens we have to evict them.  The Kernel has us throwing moth balls down the holes.  he says they don't like the smell and will move to some place else.  We hope they move soon.
