Today Tomato Planting in the "High Tunnel"



And what a beautiful day it was.  The prep work had been started by our Crop Mob back at the beginning of the month.

Compost was put down along with drip line and cover.

Watering was checked both on the ground and in the air.

And then we found the Farmer!  Pulling the posse together for a morning stroll through the tunnel!

The cart was being loaded with tomatoes

of all kinds,

As we stood by and watched the water, fertilizer and the hole punch unwind.

Dan and Marv always have a precise plan,

As to how many there are and what kind, all going in by hand.

What beauties!

Ernesto was following up with the braces for the top row cover.

Get ready!! Little bits of green are popping up already!
