The plants are in the ground!

5/5: The soil at the new test plot area is easy to work with aside from the large numerous roots that remain. Pulling the roots is difficult but satisfying. There are an overwhelming amount to deal with but will be pulled out little bits at a time. My sister and and mom were visiting and helped me plant the seedlings. We put each in the ground with a  good amount of compost and fertilizer. The plants were  then covered the with straw. We put some of the roots in the ground around the small plants to protect them from being stepped on. We used longer roots to make structures for the peas and beans to climb up. Before we left I applied liquid fence to protect the plants from being eaten by animals.
