- Planted little leek plants in the field. We made little holes, dropped in the a young leek, and very loosely covered the roots with soil - just enough so it could stand up straight.
- Planted cabbages in the field. In contrast to the leeks, the cabbages were transferred from fairly large pots into the beds and the soil was firmly squashed down to press against the roots.
- Planted squashes in the field. The squash plants were quite large when we transferred them from pot to bed. Since their leaves are quite broad, they can easily get pushed over by the wind. To prevent too much damage, we essentially planted them slanted with the wind and made sure the leeward side was supported by the soil.
Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. - Kahlil Gibran
