We have purchased a small tiller and are busily working to remove sod, till, and mulch the upper level of the lawn on the east and southern sides.  Bill has worked hard to get the greensward ready for the gardeners to till and I have been clearing the rockeries of weeds and debris.  This morning two gardeners who had worked diligently,  planted their first few plants -- some thyme, cilantro, lettuce, catnip, etc.   They had  not been gone long when a fierce hail storm storm came over!  Bill hurried to set up long picnic tables over the tender new crops to shield them.  They all came through unscathed, although the cilantro had the worst of it.
