Great shot Carletta of that "antic" tiller of yesteryears. My back aches even thinking of how much work and energy would have been exerted to push that up and down fields. The old draught horse ones that farmers used and walked behind to keep steady would have been hard enough. I'll take your word on the potatoes and onions - ha ha. Exceedingly informative and interesting blog. Well done. Cheers Colin (Brisbane.Australia) Weather report: Noon Friday 18th. Sheer bliss, bit coolish in the early mornings. Pity it won't stay like this till October! ( sigh!)
Oh, I remember these old push plows--and what hard work they were to use, especially if you waited too long between plowings! Like your editing choice--a goal of mine to learn how to do this in photoshop--especially sepia tones.
love the old hand tiller!
ReplyDeleteI hope that is an accent piece for the farm and not one that he is still using! Then again, maybe it works,just fine.
ReplyDeleteI agree the vintage edit is perfect for this shot.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting machine for gardening. I assume it's hand held an human powered. Makes for a great photo.
ReplyDeleteYour second picture is fabulous --especially for THAT particular shot. Love the old tiller. Great fence picture, Carletta.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Perfect shot! I love the processing for the second one - what a great piece of equipment!
ReplyDeleteYour photo awakens in me the longing to plant a garden again!
