Memorial Day

No rest for farmers--today we worked, though it was a short day.  We put in about 1000 basil plants, maybe 800 winter squash, and 500 sweet potatoes.  We also seeded an additional few hundred winter squash and even got around to mulching the sweet potatoes and weeding some of the more pressing beds, namely the lettuce heads and tomatillos.  All it all, it was a productive day.  The weather was perfect, which is always nice.  It really makes it seem as if we aren't doing work at all.  The fact that there were about 15 people there helped too.  Claire's friend Lisa came to help for a few hours, and my boyfriend Bret came too, since he had the day off at his job.  I took lots of photographs, but need to go through them to pick out the best ones.  I will post as soon as I choose a few.
