The 2012 season will be getting off to a rocky start for me. I have a torn muscle/tendon in my hip that will require surgery to correct. It means 8 weeks in a brace with no work in the patch. Thankfully Jacob will be able to get things started for us this year. I still have until the middle of March to do what I can (spread fertilizer, fix electric fence) and will at least be able to get the plants started. Since the tiller is giving us problems and Jacob does't like to run it anyway, tillage will be limited to use of a fork around the planting sites to start. Roundup and hoe to keep weeds under control. Some of our patch will just get a cover crop of Dwarf Essex Rape to keep the weeds down and give the ground a rest. At least I found a doctor who is skilled in this surgery and can get me scheduled in a reasonable time.
