Peas and lettuce in the ground

While I've been working behind the scenes to get the new pump for the water system, a couple of our great volunteers have started a patch of peas and lettuce. The patch is planted in an area that was heavily composted last year to see how soil improvements would affect the plants. They have also added black plastic to stop the weeds, more compost, and some protection from the deer. We've been fortunate in avoiding problems the last two years, but some deer tracks were seen while they were planting. Can't wait to see how it goes.
