This video is about market gardening in Southeast Alaska, including discovering crane fly larvae in the lettuce, kale, and chard beds after thinking that damage was only slugs, and then seeing toads at night while hunting larvae & slugs; noting that the the new roll of Agribon AG-30, which is a heavier weight than the old roll of Agribon row cover, has rain water pooling on top over the wire hoops, and eventually switch row cover to ProtekNet insect netting; noting germination of a second succession of baby chard, second bed of spinach, second succession of peas & undersown New Zealand white clover, and micro clover under the kale and chard beds; also noting that fox sparrows and any white- or golden-crowned sparrows appear to be gone while a robin scratches around in the seaweed in the garlic beds; harvesting spinach, orach, and mizuna in one greenhouse to make room for the first succession of basil, and harvesting pac choi in the other greenhouse to bring light to a relay crop of lettuce, and selling it all at a monthly community market on the weekend; moving the basil starts down to the greenhouse and the third succession of Salanova lettuce up to the house under lights because it has been growing slowly in the recent cool weather; plus chive starts finally germinate.
