June 5th 2018 - the hard work day is done.

Farm day is the hardest job of any job.  I used a wheel hoe and Markie, the other American, age 24, used a Dutch hoe and we hoed this field by ourselves from 9 until 12.  (with a 30 minute tea break at 11 AM.


 

Then we cleared out a hoop house in the afternoon .

I hand pulled all these plants out and Markie wheelbarrowed them to the compost heap which was quite far away.  Hugh expected us to clear the plants out, lightly turn soil over, and apply compost inside the poly tunnel to prepare for 90 tomato plantings.   Is he crazy?    I didn't get to take the finished hoop house shot of it being all cleared out.   I carried 2 pitch forks back to the front barn and walked with Hugh and used the pitchforks to help me walk - like 2 canes.  HAHAHAHAHA

This is now completely cleaned and looks great.  We left it with not one piece of a plant or a root in the entire area.  What a day it has been. We are both tired.  

It's 5:50 PM.   I offered Markie a hand peeling potatoes as it is her day to make supper.  We'll eat at 7:15 PM.   I will sleep like a baby, tonight.  

I am so exhausted I cannot sleep and have tossed all night  It is 4 AM and I have to be downstairs at 730 AM for chicken duty
