Thinning

It has been very windy in the past couple days (about 20 mph).
All the outside black sheets were blown off and another window of the marquee was blown out, but not broken.

While Chris was mending them, I thinned the mizuna & fuyuna and transplanted them into empty rows. It took a long time as they have grown so much and should have been thinned earlier. I stroked them gently because I read that it makes them grow shorter and sturdier.

Chris found dozens of slugs around the pots and containaers when it was getting dark. He collected and put them in the compost with some fresh old-leaf spinach to chomp on. Maybe we'll have to do a night-time slug search sometime...
