peas and mesclun

Today, Nikki and Krissy assembled the pea trellis. It is 700' long and inhabits seven 100' beds in our field. They had to pound in 70, seven foot bamboo stakes and then attach the trellising. Tomorrow, they will plant the peas.

I was able to till the rest of the field. This was a great relief as parts of the field were getting pretty weedy — witch-grass and crab-grass are a particular problem. Afterwards, I cleaned up several beds that are to be directly sown with cool-weather greens. I was then able to sow two beds of mesclun: one mild and one spicy. Tomorrow, I will sow more greens.
