                  Thanks for the welcomes.
                  Still a bit too soon to get the ground going, still a bit of snow. This year, as well as my in ground plot, I am trying some planters and raised beds. I'm getting up there in age and I think my back will appreciate it.

                      Hardly an estate.....lol
                      I have 1 1/2 acres, about 1/3 of it swampy bush, but we like it here. Got out of the city about 15 years ago, best move I ever made.

                          Welcome. That is a lot of ground you have to cover. Easy to see why you need machinery.
