weeding, planting and watering

Every time we make a decision to attend a task at the farm, we leave several other tasks neglected. If we plant tomatoes, like we did yesterday, we don't weed the beet beds; and the beet beds get weedier and harder to weed. That's just how it is. That's the lesson the farm teaches — life is always one step ahead of your intentions. The only way to keep the initiative, is to keep moving; but one's endeavors will remain in some way incomplete.

That said, we are getting a lot done! Our days are split up between weeding, planting, and watering, as well as tending the ornamental plants that we are still gathering into blocks to be picked up and planted.
