Black Plastic

I forgot to bring pictures home again. Nuts.

In any case, today was a pretty intense day, I'd say. We transplanted all of this season's tomatoes (seven 400 foot beds, single row, two feet spacing) before nine thirty. Then we moved on to running irrigation over eight beds that will be used for melons and such, and covering those with... erk... black plastic. Erk, I say. What a treacherous job it was to roll out this stuff in the heat today. I think we were all feeling rather beat up by the time we had finished... around four in the afternoon. During that time Jarrod and Leslie seeded the fall roots.

The rest of the day was spent in various jobs. Amanda, Jarrod, Ali, and Jeff weeded a few rows of peas that hadn't germinated well so that weeds were coming through fairly strong. Jarrod and Jeff also experimented with a few old sprinklers we have to try to get a system going (rather than laying more drip tape). Leslie and I transplanted planted tomatoes, melons, ground cherries, and planted cucumber in the seed saving garden.

Good night.
