We are doing well in the fields.

Wow! I am loving this spring. I don't even know where to start. Andy fashioned a rack that Shiela (aka mom) and I can mount on our Gator and now one person can easily install the drip tape. It used to take two people and much grumbling. Now we only have to park our Gator at the end of the bed to be planted, grab the ends of the two or three tapes, walk the 200 feet length of each bed, and secure the tapes with staples. In about one third the time as before we are all hooked into the irrigation system and can begin to "plug" our plants into the field. We are having so much fun planting your stuff this year! I can't wait to show you the results...

Shiela planted all of our cabbages today. The broccoli and lettuce are in the field and looking quite good. Ethan had taken some photos of the crops last night, but the ran the batteries of juice. I expect to post the photos here tomorrow.
