Lettuce Planted, Covered and General Cleanup

After planting the Lettuce, the boxes are covered

to protect the new plants from the birds.

These coverings called "frost blankets"are draped

over wires called "wickets".  The film is

secured with clips to prevent the film

coming in contact with the new plants

and to protect the new plants.

 General cleanup includes stacking the numerous buckets

used for weeding and carrying produce.

 

Our field has a water problem.  This area of the field is

lower and water has been collecting.  This missionary

is accessing the situation in hopes of remedying the

problem at hand.  The white pipe in the picture

carries water to the field.  The pipe has small openings

for the water to run down designated furrows.  The

furrows have not yet been made.
