plastic mulch

The plastic mulch is going down pretty well.  After the slow wet spring we've had I never thought we'd get to this point.  This is the first year Joel has done plastic and so using the machine has been a learning experience.  Once we get the machine tuned in and running well, it pretty much lays itself. 

 above is the first five rows of plastic mulch laid.  By this time all the kinks had been worked out so the rest of the field went  relatively smooth.

Here is a pic of the entire field covered.  Notice both black and white plastic.  The color of the plastic is determined by what is going to be planted there.  LOOK!: the lower right hand corner shows cabbage already planted in the row! Now that one field is ready for veggies, going forward I will be a planting fool for the next few weeks.
