Hoop House Hooplah! Mondays and Thursdays are our "farm days" now since Tuesdays and Wednesdays are CSA harvest/delivery days. Man, we worked...hard and accomplished so much in one day. First off us interns weeded and cleared out some beds, easy enough right? Wrong.

| Planting Fennel for Dad |
Clearing out a bed consists of removing the previous vegetables, weeding...and repeat. Coming through next with a wheel hoe claw which makes the soil deep and porous. Then sprinkling compost on top and raking it into the soil mixing it together. That last part was
hellacious challenging and reminded me that I'd been taking it easy these past few days.
I planted Okinawa Spinach which will stay in the hoop house permanently, so no mess ups. After that Erica and I finished planting some flowers she'd been planting before. The fennel we planted was a bit more challenging because the drip tape irrigation hadn't been set up. Once we were done there we set up the seeder for Cory to plant radishes (see pic).

Lastly, we went to Jeff Cook with Daniel and planted corn, broccoli, and komatsuna. So we both got a nice fish gut shower before quitting for the day.
Erica's making us her strawberry recipe and then I'm making the beet, carrot, sweet potato recipe (both linked on Erica's Recipes for the Farm). I have to get ready to prepare lunch for everyone tomorrow!
