planting



We've been busy. The weather has been nice, but windy. This is my seeder widgit. 3 Earthway seeders connected with thread rod. I use this to plant almost everything. So far, we have sown carrots, beets, chard, radish, salad, peas, and garbanzos. Anyway, it's a pretty good tool, once the quirks are understood.

Here's Ted, transplanting cabbage and broccoli soil blocks. Once the beds are tilled out, I hitch up this roller-marker and till again. Then it's just putting blocks in the holes and irrigating. We put out 800 cabbage and broccoli this morning, which is pretty efficient for us. Onions and leeks are on deck, time to get them in the soil.
