plow. rototill. fluff. dibble. transplant. cover. repeat.
This is my past week (and this week) in a nutshell. We are working around the bit of rain we've had to get more plants into the ground. Some fields were almost dry and ready to till, but we had rain over the weekend so they are wet again. So in the meantime, we are working non-stop in the fields that are dry.
Happy plants in the ground are:
leeks
storage onions
lettuce
hard cabbage
napa cabbage
chard
There are still seeds being sewn in the greenhouse, most recently cucumbers, summer squash, basil and more lettuce...it is packed!
Our days go by so fast and there is beginning to be much more work than there is time in the day. We will be starting working Saturdays (half days) in a couple of weeks. I really enjoy my time on the weekends in Portland, it will be hard not to be there for a full two days. It seems like right now my weekends are just long enough for any achy muscles to rest, for all the nicks on my hands to heal and to actually get clean again.

hi katie! it's me! Thanks for the update on what will be in my box! Can you make sure it's heavy on the basil? Thanks! It will be the one that says "special CSA box for elise" on it. I paid extra for the "Special" part. ok bye!
