We did some work in the morning, and Jonathon helped us out a bunch with his super duper pick-axe skills! Even Quinten and Lucky stopped by for about 15 minutes. We spent a lot of time making the swales wider and straightening them out a bit. Then we started to double dig the second vegetable bed.
After lunch we went to see Bountiful Backyard's "Two Ton Garden" in downtown Durham, on the Piedmont Farm Tour. They showed us some plants they just ordered We might buy some to get planted this week, if we have time.
Monday, Work Day 4-
Ash was alone in the field today. I was in the house, organizing what may be a last minute trip to Europe this fall. He used the tractor to try and dig the other vegetable bed, which we had started to double-dig by hand the day before. He did a little maintenance on the compost piles, and then came inside to help my mom clean the kitchen for our guests tonight.
