Good News and Bad News

6/27/2010

 
Today was the last Sunday work day (next week is July 4th).  The four-day-a-week schedule will start on Wednesday, July 7th.

Most of the plants are in the ground now, so workers have moved on to the next stage: weeding.  Today's crew did plant beans and radish seeds in a few rows, but they spent most of the morning weeding out the thistles and grasses that are sprouting in the beds.

The bad news is that the water pump that is supposed to run the drip tape irrigation system is broken.  Replacing it will be costly, but fixing this problem is of utmost importance to the plants so it will be taken care of one way or another ASAP.

On the other hand, the good news is that things are growing wonderfully!  The U-pick flower garden is getting to be very colorful, and tomatoes are ripening on the vines.  The electric fencing is completely set up as well.
