Yes, that's what I'd like to do! I was just telling DH last night that I needed some muscle to get the hay over there. It's close which is great, but not particularly mobile.
What did you do in the garden today?

***Though I should note that I will likely require more intensive methods to get rid of perennial weeds and other deep rooted plants. Plus years of soil amending to turn this clay into something more loam-like.
But I have been dreaming lol. I have visions of this bountiful garden now. Hopefully I can get some hay down in a section and have something to work with in the spring!

DS dragged home a pile of boxes and I'm wondering where to use them in my future garden, when the time comes. I.e. making peace with the pile of empty boxes creating an eye sore in my back yard at the moment! LOL I'm thinking I'll probably put them under the pumpkins when they get growing… I picked up all the rubbish in the backyard (here when I moved in) and put it in a bag on the side of the yard. BIG mistake. The dang chickens ripped into the bag and the wind did the rest. I have so much work to do out there still.

They sound perfect for placing under a mulch layer of your new garden plot for additional weed suppression and grass kill in that area. By spring you should be able to plant through them.

That's a great idea, @Beekissed I'll do that soon. I hear we're in for some freezing weather the next two days and snow in parts of the country. It's very early for snow.

Meant to write this yesterday:
mulched!
Got about 25'x50' done, may be all for this year but it's a start
DH was able to pull out some old haybales for me with the tractor. Will be interesting to see if it does any good in the spring.

Got my R.H. Shumway seed catalog today!!!! 
Though I don't order as much from it as I used to do, it's my favorite seed catalog for many reasons....I LOVE the illustrations, descriptions and also the varieties. It just has an old fashioned vibe that I love.
