Big job finally done!

Today was the day to finish a pretty sizable job of putting in a 100' long 6" tile at the end of the CSA field.  The trench has been dug since early this spring when we had the flooding that knocked out the sweet corn and potatoes.  A little tweaking with the transit and we had a very nicely done tile that should prevent any future episodes of flooding anywhere in the field!  What a relief to complete that job.

Larry spent some time leveling off the walking paths in between the newly pulled plastic mulch rows for next year's garden.  We will plant clover in between the rows in the spring to minimize weed problems and provide our bees with somewhere to forage for nectar.

The weather was cooler but not too bad once the sun came out in the late morning.  It was a very nice day to work outside.  The rest of this week is not supposed to be as nice with some much needed rain moving in tomorrow night.  There is very little moisture in the ground.  We need some recharge badly.
