Last night after work,
with weeds growing, I wheelhoed
in three sisters field.

The sod that I tilled
does not want to die just yet.
Hoe was sweating too.

E was detailing.
A handheld weeding tool worked.
The field looks great now.



With the corn growing
we started to mound them up.
A little to start.



Next to plant is squash.
Why not protect from weeds soon?
We'll direct seed them.

Beans plant in 3 weeks.
Direct seeding around corn.
Should be plenty tall.

Today we started
close to 6 to beat the heat.
Sweating by seven.

We harvested lots.
Lettuce and arugula.
Radishes, turnips.

Broccoli was fun.
I didn't cut my finger!!
Woo! and Hoo! I say.

Then we prepped soil.
Fertilized A, B and F.
E tilled quite nicely.

(Realizing something.
I didn't take many pics.
Crazy busy day.)

I helped pack some shares
for remote distribution.
Pam volunteered. Yay!

My turn to drop off.
I left the farm at one ten.
I was back by five.

Drop offs are fun.
The driving part is quite nice.
Good to have "me" time.

This evening brought us
a pretty heavy downpour.
Soooo much cooler now.

The weather forecast
shows lower temps tomorrow.
Crossing my fingers.

Good rain plus sunshine
equals amazing plant growth.
Can't wait to see them.

dig dig dig dig dig.
dig dig dig dig dig dig dig.
