It is a mystery

Your mulching machine sounds like good farm fun. I love driving the tractor and working the backhoe, in particular. I’m also proud that I can move barn waste better than Achaosofkittens.

From your descriptions, you are taking over the farm at just the right time. I’m sorry your dad isn’t as strong as he was and I’m glad you are enjoying solid gains from both work/food and T. One of my friends who helps out here says it’s like being a reverse Hulk - he gets so happy when he bulks up and hulks out.

Seven pounds of potato seeds is a lot. I hope you’ve got lots of good additives to get the soil loose and mounded.
