Nursery Work Today

Robert and Frank and Christi have been here all afternoon.  They did some planting.   Following are some things planted, some things growing, some things harvested, some things waiting to be planted.

 Cool weather crops.  Beets, radishes

 Some heirloom onions and the rest of the space to be planted sometime in the future.

 Peas in the front are killed by an infestation of aphids.  The predator wasp are showing up.

 The back of this bed are cabbage, cauliflower, red beets, radishes, and carrots

 This is the worm bed.  It was built today.  It is two feet wide and nearly twenty seven inches long.  It is made out of one 8 foot 2x6 with 1/4 inch hardware cloth on the bottom and a lid made of a piece of plywood.  The will be fed table scraps.  Lettuce and beet leaves. etc.

 The lid is on the worm bed.

The worm bed at the lower right and the lid with a handle which is white. The other two beds waiting to be planted.
