Week 3: Work

Work in the garden has yet again been mostly weeding. But so far everything has been going to plan. However some of the carrots are growing very quickly and need to be thinned out. We have also added a pea trellis for, you guessed it, the peas. The trellis is in an A-frame design with strings hanging down from a horizontal support that the peas will grow up. There is also a secondary set of strings that are mounted to the same support and are tied to a lower support which will also support the peas as they grow. The trellis is made out of scrap wood taken from a wood shop class. The trellis itself is about three feet long, three feet tall, and about a foot wide. There are also strawberries coming up in the garden as well, they are being watered and tended to as needed.
