Summer has finally arrived. Fields are still wet but getting better

- tiller was being fixed by Gene, so we spent a lot of time digging and weeding the rest of the 1/2 rows in lower field . We couldn't find the starts to transplant (Squash) and didn't have Rutabega seed with us, so we seeded 1-1/2 bed of purple top white Globe Turnip, 3 rows in a bed
- Everyone weeded the lower field and only weeded one bed of Tomatoes and Eggplant up above
- Folks took home Lettuce , but there's still more weeds to come out soon
