Hang in there, Jude - I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run! I had a spot this summer that I couldn't work (a garden overtaken by grass and weeds), but it is soaking wet now so I can do some digging. I know you don't have that luxury. I outlined one of my gardens first with twine, then when I was happy with that I used lime. One of my stepsons "helped" me rototill, but he's not a gardener so didn't get that it was important to follow the line. I still appreciated what he did, although I normally do my own tilling. The picture here was taken of the garden I did in 2004.
