More Weeding, Carrots, and Beans

It finally got a little cooler today!  It was in the 80’s instead of 90-100.  This made the work go a lot faster and we accomplished more because we weren’t stopping for water as much.  We started off with our usual introductions and then got to work in the three groups.   Morning is the best time to weed so we got started with that first.  We weeded on either side of the carrot bed so that we could plant carrots later on in the day.  Sure enough, we finished the weeding we started on before break! 

After eating some homemade pickles and sharing some laughs during break, we headed back out on the field.  One group took on cutting wood and putting up more pole bean teepees, another group readied one of the beds for carrots and started planting carrots.  The last group cleaned up in the parking lot and then planted leeks and dragon lingerie, which is a bean.  I think we all felt pretty accomplished by the end of the day, and time seemed to fly!
