That is the view from my front door, those are the mountains that they mine the back of. On the hill you can see an old gold mine that is called Tropico, it use to have the international chili cook off there each year but the studios bought it and film there now so it is closed off. The left side of that mountain as you face it and out of frame is the Famous Willow Springs Raceway. I don't like looking at the vacant land but like the mountain view. You see why gophers and rabbits are my enemy.

I am doing a lot more with raised beds but I am breaking them down still so this year I hope to have a lot more landscape. I accidently posted the wrong pix, this is where I am going to ammend the soil for flower gardens next year but out of Frame is a big huge lasagna garden. Too much work to break up all that. I have 5/8 of an acre of this hard pan crap. Thank God for you guys who told me about the alfalfa teas so worms are helping alot in this area. I just threw a bunch of cubes down for the winter too, that will help. I tilled in a lot of straw last year as well. Some idiot put dg all over this area so it is like wet cement.gggggrrrrrr
