Work to be done:

• weed and transplant the strawberries
• dig up and share strawberry plants
• till up and prepare another bed for strawberries
• roll paper cups, fill with soil and plant seedlings (we make our seedling containers
• out of old newspapers, we have a tool for doing that)
• weed garlic bed
• weed raspberry plants, dig up and share
• white wash inside chicken coop (any one brave enough to do this will need a dusk mask to clean coop before hand. I cleaned it not that long ago, so it isn't in bad shape)
• turn compost
• set up seed bed in studio (this involves filling a heated wooden plant stand container with sand.)
• moving horse manure to orchard. (This is a really smelly job and pretty physical)
