Only Mazyar came to work in the garden today. I had already watered the strawberries and begun to fertilize the avocado tree when he arrived. I almost used a whole box on one tree. I will need about 3 more boxes at this rate. I asked Mazyar to add gypsum to the raised bed. First he wetted down the soil, then I spread a bout 3 lbs. of gypsum over the whole bed. Mazyar mixed it in well and then we watered again. Tomorrow I will plant the beans there.

Yesterday I bought a bamboo fence for the peas. Can't wait to set it up. I may spray the nematodes on the gardens today.
