Thanks to the students at Brooks School, I did not lose all my hard work whilst I was grieving. They and kind staff watered and tended to my starts. Things look healthy and ready to plant.

Also, today, I faced two of my fears and two tasks that I was hoping to leave for Kamal to do. He was going to take care of the bees. Well, with help from the Merrimac Valley Beekeepers and my brother-in-law, I installed a package of bees.

Secondly, Kamal was going to drive the tractor and teach me along the way. Now, it is full-on immersion with the tractor and implements finally arriving. The cover crop was so tall that mowing was the first thing to do. Later, the rye and vetch would be harrowed in.

Because of the help of great teachers, I feel pretty comfortable on this tractor and look forward to doing more work tomorrow.
