Peas in Eaves and Posts in Holes

We have found living on west coast brings many a visitor our way.  Most recently our pal Scotia has been staying with us.  He is a carpenter and a very handy guy that is willing to help out on the farm while he is here.  Yesterday, on a beautiful February day I put him to work in the field. As the field is still very wet and mucky I decided to give my peas a jump start by planting them in eavestrough. Once the soil warms and is more workable I will dig trenches and slide the pea babies into the ground.

After our peas were planted the hard work began digging in the posts for the deer fencing on the last 1/2 acre.  The post hole digging went so smoothly with the deep easily dug, mucky soil.  As this property is still so new to me, it felt great spending a day in the field connecting to the land.
