Weeding, and more weeding

So many crops failed due to the earlier flood. One of the failures was the peas. The bed which had them in has now become a weed infested dirt pile. Time to dig out the weeds and fill the compost bins.
Turning this:

Into this:

But it's not just that bed. There are three others done as well. One of the beds has a very deep loose soil, so we're going to plant some Daikon radish in them now. In case you didn't know, Daikon is a traditional Japanese root vegetable. Normally planted midsummer (we're a little late) and harvested over winter. So hopefully we'll be pretty good with this.

But we didn't leave the plot empty handed.
