Farm 0617

Monday June 17

I met Josh & Tyler at 7AM in front of their cabin, and we began the day. Josh took a full tour of the farm area, looking for things that needed to be done. We went to all fields, including those I’d barely interacted with until then. He found quite a lot of things to do, including clearing the weeds from certain paths, irrigating garlic, fixing up my detached cabin gate, harvesting, weeding, and irrigating Cipriano, and tilling up the hoophouse terrain. He jotted it all up in a little green notebook, and we began to do stuff.

We irrigated the garlic, and I got to carve a water ditch around potato plants with a hoe. Josh cleaned up the weeds in the path to that field, and then we went to irrigate and weed the Cipriano border crops. I forgot what we did in the afternoon, but later on, Josh and I took the sheep out to the pasture field for about 10 minutes, then brought them back in. Day finished, I went back to my cabin.
