Lots of different things taken care of today, best of all was getting caught up on my composting. All ingredients I've stored up over the past few months have been shredded, mixed and in the pile. I broke my rake I've had for years and drove to the store and found the exact model for $7.59 - sold. Installed another section of trellis and sowed a run of red noodle and fortex poll beans. I also sowed a row of bush beans on each side of the poll beans as an experiment.

Re-sowed the areas that haven't emerged yet and cut some PVC collars for seedlings that are being targetted by pests - If this is effective then it's a nice little method to keep the bugs off. Problem is you can't install these until the seedlings are a certain height or else you'll make them leggy which is a whole new problem. It's also tempting to drive the collars down into the soil but that will shear off the roots or at a minimum damage them. I'm leaving them floating to see how it works out.
