The Supervisor

Worked on setting drip lines on beds as irrigation became a priority.  More hot weather over the next two days.  Tilling done, time to plant corn. The old adage of waiting until the oak leaves are the size of a squirrel's ear marks the soil temperature as ready.  Will make a new bed for melons in the top greenhouse and probably get the first of those planted tomorrow.  Have so much weeding to do in the old strawberries.  Put water on them so that I can get started on that soon.  New helper is smart and capable, so I see progress ahead.
