Row cover
We got the row cover on the strawberries today. I am glad that job is done. It always seems to be windy when we put them on. Hopefully we won't have to take them off till spring. It was an all day job covering 3 acres of strawberries.
Now we have to get ready for a meeting tonight. Never a dull moment.
