Onions & Squash

The field is filling up, Steven put in some more carrots, peas, spinach and a few rows of onions.

The first peas in the greenhouse are coming on and the first strawberries are turning red.

On a side note: Aliza now has 63 squash plants planted on Lopez Island,
11 of which are just east of the relocated raspberries.
There may be a few more joining them in a few days.

Days are sunny and warm, very summery.
Things are coming a month earlier than last year.

Fields Tilled

A few days ago, the annual fields were tilled.
Weather: a few days of warm summer-like temperatures,
Then: a few days of overcast, we had a light sprinkle early this morning.
