The ground has been white almost every morning since my last post and most of the days have either been rainy or snowy as well. It was kind of a gross week weather-wise but today is really making up for it - 55F and clear as can be.
I planted 4 types of favas into the beds that I prepped last week.

| Ianto's Fava Bean (Baker Creek) |
 |
| Masterpiece Fava (Baker Creek) |
 |
| Sweet Lorane (Victory Seeds) |
 |
| Windsor Fava Beans (High Mowing) |
I also put the bamboo in for peas, though I need to track down where I left my twine last fall. There's also some bamboo where the runner beans and Sicitalian Black Swamp beans will go, just for a placeholder.
Lastly, I prepped two more beds and filled two more pathways with woodchips using the same process as in the last post. I finished the day by spreading what was left of last year's broken down leaves and straw around to protect the soil from rain erosion. The old straw makes it look like I didn't do much down there today but.. I suppose aesthetics aren't the point. :-)
