The ebbs growing in the field is wilting!

I nearly finished the polytunnel. The cover is on, hoisted over the top. I have no idea how they expect you to stake it down it has no eyes to stake into the ground, just two little tabs at either end. So baler twine and cover pulled over, staked down, best I could. Just hope that there's no significant wind before I can figure out how to bury the not overly long sides.

This morning finally worked out after a couple of hiccups!
First find some heavy duty pegs to hold down the polytunnel, found some.
Then locate the cows! In the field with the veg! Cows apparently don't like veg 😅 they do like black plastic, so they ate the plastic and left the lettuce, chicory, courgette, pumpkins and tomatoes!
Luckily the black plastic is bio degradable, made from corn starch I think, so the cows should be ok.

After a stint out selling at Llandeilo Civic Hall market, back home and planting out. That's nearly 50 courgettes planted this evening.
Back to Llandeilo on Saturday and Myddfai market on Sunday.
Come buy some, lamb, mutton, eggs, herbs and lettuce.

2hrs build time, it probably says that it's a two man job.
An hour and a half, one old woman, just the cover to go on!

Started planting on Wednesday morning. Felt like 400 lettuce plants but only 200 with some sacrificial bolting ones down the side.
Next on to the chicories. Then there's ebb's popping up all over the place!
Thursday, chicories, courgette and squash. Sunflowers? Build a polytunnel and plant tomatoes?
Friday, Saturday and Sunday farmers markets.
Got to get these plants in.

The land has now all been turned over. Just need to try and make a better bed, get it ready to roll out the w**d suppression and dig the edges in.
Can I get this done tonight?
I have all the potatoes to go in too 😅
