Fertilizer, Skeeters, Straw, and a new hoe

I spread a light layer of North Country Organics, Pro-Gro on just about all of the planted stuff in the Intervale tonight. I mostly wanted to get the garlic some nitrogen but Pro Gro is nice stuff so I spread the love. It is not, however, very photogenic on similarly colored soil, so here are some peas and favas instead.

Mosquito season has started in force. I had long Carhartts, a long sleeved shirt, and gloves on tonight and still got eaten alive.

I started prepping for tomato planting by pulling the straw back to let the ground thaw out. There's some quack grass to be pulled and a lot of baby maple trees to hoe but.. I was out of patience for the skeeters at this point.

In other news, I got a new mini-hoe! Here it is on its test run in my barley crop at home! I've been avoiding weeding this bed just because I knew it was coming :-)
