Back in Business
With a few hiccups and obstacles, we are finally back in the garden. Caroline and Greg worked hard all weekend tilling plot 639-another happy place or ahp. They planted peppers, squash, zucchini, eggplant, and sunflower seeds as well as a cherry tomato in HH. We already put the corn in last Friday and the puny tomato starters that had just about given up. Today I retilled some rows and planted 3 rows of lady peas and one row of butter beans. Sadly, they cut the water off just as I was starting so I'll need to go out tonight or in the morning to water everything.

1 Step Forward, 2 Steps Back
So, the flags are out. That's good. Plot #639 is a little further down from HH, but the dirt looks richer.
Sadly, there is standing water in the furrows. No tilling and planting for now. I got roundup on about 5 rows of HH before the storms came in. Here's hoping it didn't wash away. We probably got another 3 inches of rain tonight.
Testing my patience.
