Between Savings, a good Tax Refund, Stimulus Check, and 4 weeks back paid Unemployment, I was feeling ok about cutting loose with some cash. A few years ago, I was walking into Home Depot, and there was a Cub Cadet tiller by the door. It had dirt stained tires, and a price sign with like $499. A new one next to it was marked $799. I was very close to buying it, but decided not to. Well I've been using an old front tine tiller my son found at a local flea market for $50. It's worked good for the last 3 years, but now seems to need more work than I want to expend. With the way the world seems to be spiraling off to distant Galixies at this time, I figured it might be a good investment to buy a new tiller. It was hard to find one in stock local, but I did locate one 25 miles away. It turns out, Cub Cadet was having a $100 off sale on one of their models. The other one has a Honda engine and is normally $100 more than the regular engine model. So I had to make a choice, Honda engine that I'd like to have, or $200 less for the one on sale model. I went cheap ($849 out the door). I tell you, it's a real grubbing machine. It's a job to muscle it around, but it digs deep without a strain. I think I'll be happy with it.
I'm way late for planting a full garden here in Zone 9, due to being out of town for work back in March, so I think I'll just plant things like Okra, Purple hull peas, and maybe some pepper plants. I can't wait for a Fall garden where I can shine.
