Buying A Tiller May Be Harder Than It Appears

So, in my last post I mentioned we needed a tiller. Ryan and I ventured to Decatur Friday night for dinner and tiller shopping. We were disappointed in the choices we had at Lowes and Menards in Decatur, so randomly decided to drive to Springfield to check out their selection.

Ryan doesn't take his purchases lightly (regardless of the plants dying at home)...so he couldn't commit Friday night to a tiller and we went home empty handed.

Saturday morning, Ryan was up and doing research and ready to purchase a model we saw Friday night. We headed back to Springfield and hit up the Lowes on the west side of town (their inventory said they had 5 available).

No tillers.

They weren't just out of the tiller we wanted, they had NO tillers. The closest Lowes that had our tiller available? Bloomington. UGH. We picked up a few other things while we were there ( eggplants for the garden, gerbera daisies for the yard)and headed to Bloomington.

By the time we got back from Bloomington, it was almost 5 pm. There went any chance of me planting today. But....Ryan worked the ground anyhow! (Thanks, honey!)
