Lettuce Transplants

I am trying to reduce my labor by making all of the rows the width of the tractor. I may still do a lot of hand weeding but it will be a simple task to till under a row and straddle a bed to add compost or harvest.

Pieter is hanging out while Anna is planting lettuce. We are using a ten foot "story stick" that is marked every 12 inches. This is a guide to keep our plantings straight and even in the center of the bed.
