Shaping the rows, spreading compost and spreading leaves from the neighbors yards in the aisles to increase tilth and hopefully to keep the weeds down, but they are tenacious!!

The irrigation pipe was laid today and spickets (sp?) are up!Thank you Pete!!  We flushed the lines and the water quality and pressure looks great. We're running off of a well. Tomorrow, orthis weekend, we'll lay the tubing and then lay out the lines of micro tape for each row....then planting  the babies I planted in trays with Danielle at Sea Island Savory are more than ready and so am i!

Spreading more neighborhood leaves into the rows...it's much more fun with lots of help, especially the kids, although I think the adults may have enjoyed this more! 

Last week was great! I was able to farm all day, everyday-I had to keep pinching myself!  So much fun.  On Monday, I made sure that about 5 beds were prepped and ready as Pete finished up the irrigation.  Then, I lay out the irrigation lines for the beds that were ready to plant and I ran the irrigation in those beds and let it run for awhile as I figured out what I wanted to plant where.

I was hoping for rain and we finally got some,  but wasn't counting on HAIL!  I was a-shakin in my boots as I drove to the farm this morning, worrying over my tomatoes.  Man, those little fellers have had a rough start...sitting in their plug trays for months, trying to be pleasing and bloom for me.  Then, I plant them out on the windiest day of the year, seriously, and the next day was too!  I buried them deep, possibly over did it on the bonemeal and then it has been super hot with no rain.  wamp wamp.
