Farmers Almanac said that yeasterday & today were the times to plant peas & beans...so last night I went to work with my mattock and got three rows planted before dark.
Then up before daybreak impatiently waiting on God to turn the light back on so I could see to get back to work. Got three more rows dug and planted with favas
(The Sutton, Polar, Bunyard, Three Fold White,Aquadulse and Windsor)....so even though there was no way for a tractor to be on the soft wonderful soil....my mattock & me didn't compact it and most of the beans that I ordered are now in. My work was not done (though my back is ready for a break).. for I came to work and planted my friend's fava patch also...we only have four rows left to plant here at work now. She has good soil in her patch, it used to be an enclosure for a buck goat years ago...last years beans were beautiful....we hope for a good crop this year
