Spent the last week digging up a section of the backyard to turn into our veggie garden. Again, had to figure out how to keep it crabby-free (as they'll eat all our seedlings) and during a Parks office lunch BBQ, came up with the perfect solution: do what the professionals do. During the annual crab migration the roads are literally crawling with thousands upon thousands of these crustaceans traveling to the ocean looking for water and a mate. So to avoid catastrophic road moralities, Parks has installed culverts under the main roads, and channel the migratin' mass with long sections of specialized tarp. Turns out they have huge spools of the stuff left over from the project, and we're welcome to use as much as we'd like. Alright! After surrounding the garden with the tarp we start to dig up our rows and transplant the corn and cucumbers. We also inherit an eggplant and some herbs from some folks moving off-island. We wonder if we should dig up the "upper terrace" too and expand our potential veggie real estate...
