Weeding Onions

I worked in the kitchen garden today. Laura came in on her day off to help in hopes that she will be there when Buttercup has her calf. Bess had a calf last Friday who, after a few days of hemming and hawing, has finally been named Button because she is cute as a…. We were again working without someone to shadow but at least it wasn’t Laura’s very first day. We were able to answer most of the visitors’ questions and decided the safest thing to do would be to weed and water. No thinning for us! We didn’t want to do something more complex and ruin the crop. It was a nice day out and we even had a few kids ask to help us which was pretty cute. By 3:30, we had weeded an entire onion bed and were feeling pretty hot and tired so we spent the rest of the afternoon inside knitting and getting to know the staff.
