Day one of our big work weekend really started on Thursday with the arrival of our high tunnels along with some personalized instruction on how to set them up. Bright and early on Friday the construction began. The first step was to level the ground a little and plot out where each tunnel was going. Then the guys moved on to pounding in the metal supports for each hoop.
All the supports for tunnel one were finished later in the day and then up went the first hoop.
The first hoop is up!
The girls were busy prepping and planting in the outside garden. The first crop in the ground was our snap peas!

We also planted our broccoli seedlings.
Later that evening it was all hands on deck to get the site ready for the honey bees to arrive in the morning.
We have diligently been working on scraping and painting the hives to have them ready for Saturday. They look so nice all set up in the field! The electric fence was put up earlier in the day with some homemade fence posts!
What a busy first day! So much more still to do..
Stay tuned for day 2!
80 tomato plants! I am jealous.
