I don't remember their first names right now. They are part of an ugly past,lol Visited twice but really didn't like it. Last I went was for a legal filing in Pendleton. But don't remember much. The name Erick doesn't ring any memories. Oh, the old man's name is Alton Olson and has been retired for a few years. He taught vocational i think. He did a lot of wood work to include toys and then gave to children of families in need. They belongto a Seventh Day Adventist church up in a hill somewhere. The live in their same last name road. They used to have cattle back then but not sure anymore. They have a son and a daughter named Melissa and Tracy. That's all i remember.,lol oh well. :idunno

Looks like Pendleton then. Only town with Olson anything. That and the hill thing. Hermiston is flat. Umatilla is split between river level and then up to the mostly flat level to the east and south. Pendleton is very hilly, being fully in the Umatilla river valley. It's all Umatilla county

Bed #1 planted/sowed. Red, white, yellow onions, scallions, radishes, and buttercrunch lettuce. Just in time for this afternoon's rain.

Yesterday I hit my plot with tractor tiller lightly. A few pieces of grasses were popping up! Expected as initial till was just to turn anything there to kill out a couple weeks ago. For me, it was a half hr job, so YES till was fast/easy. It's all ready to plant. Hoping to work on that today by pounding 2 replacement posts and up the new fence on one side...first. 😂. Today is gonna be sunshine & upper 80s. Gotta find the fence nails.

Tilling is the question. Do I want to or do I need to still have no answers,lol
It all depends on your situation. We have a local "expert" who is adamantly against spring tilling. He believes in shovel work only.

For me it helps destroy any vole homes as well as working more organic material into the sand..
