Finished planting...

Here is my high tunnel. Kevin has not had time to do anymore than the East side of the posts but I had to plant it so Friday, Saturday, a little yesterday and today we got it finished. It was fun to see Moriah and Rebekah planting peppers and doing such a nice job. We planted 98 pepper plants and 98 tomato plants. We also got snap beans, okra, eggplant, watermelon, cucumbers, cantaloupe and beets planted in there. I got about half of the tomatoes staked and about half of the walkway laid down with cardboard. Now for a little sun and humidity and we will be doing good. I hear rain in the forecast for the next few days. We don't need that!

First I laid out the soaker hoses 30 inches apart the whole length of the garden. We will have 8 full length rows. I thought it would only have room for 6 rows so I didn't get enough hoses to finish it. Then we laid the plastic over the hoses marking where they were with garden staples. Then we tucked the plastic in the dirt. I cut the holes and all the girls helped plant (except for Lena). It was great fun and a learning experience for the girls. I usually do most of the planting. I do believe I have finished the planting for the year with the exception of some more lettuce and cabbage.
