Moving right along with the field

unicorndukeI got a good bit done today. I weeded basically everything, some areas by hand and some with the weird rototiller. The oats got murdered by something, maybe weather or nematodes or whatever so I replanted the rest of them broadcast and then rolled it with a barrel. Normally there's an actual piece of equipment to do that but I was being lazy so I just did a barrel.
My peas are all up, the other oat plots and the barley look good. Something was pulling the plants out of the vicar hulless oats I have, but I'm 99% sure that was birds eating the seed. Now that the plants are a little bigger they should survive that. The clover I planted in the aisles is looking good and the berseem clover I'm growing out for seed looks excellent.
I planted carrots but those sections are so full of lambsquarter that I don't know what to do there. I might just work the very top of the soil and see if the carrots will still come up. If that doesn't work I'll just turn those areas into something else.
I planted all my garbanzos today, four varieties. I also planted my two flax varieties.
Tomorrow I'm going to set up my irrigation.
