 We had one glorious morning that was wind-free enough to put the plastic on our tomato tunnel.  The instructions say it requires eight people but The Peasants did it with four!  And some swearing...
 Welcome Titus from Vermont!   He has been spending time with drip tape this week.  He and our other intern Ethan (not pictured here) have spent a good many hours either rolling up last year's drip tape or installing drip tape into new beds.  It is the most efficient irrigation system for growing our vegetables.  The water goes right to the base of each plant or along a seeded row.  Our other intern Merley (pictured here) is helpful in ways we cannot quantify.
Todd made me sit on our newly acquired cultivating tractor because he doesn't like cameras.  He will be the main captain of this fire engine spider.  Adjusted for our bed widths and ready to do a day's work in minutes!  What should we name her?   -Julia
