MORNING at the garden

The wind holds up as the tide begins to turn, pushing spray higher up the garden wall.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

(to himself) Right then. Cloth first, trays second.

Walk to the garden shed, grab the extra roll of shade cloth and the coil of new half-inch rope, then move to the tomato rows to secure the cloth over the frames with rolling hitches to the wall anchors.

💭 peek at the thought

Wind's picking up with the tide turn. Spray'll hit the tomato rows if the cloth isn't lashed tight. Need to get the extra roll deployed and the seed trays moved inside before the salt burns them.

Kevin, the seed trays - they're getting salt spray. Can you help me brace them?" "Kevin, the seed trays - they're getting salt spray. Can you help me brace them?

💭 peek at the thought

The trays need securing now - salt spray is already hitting the lower windows. I should have moved faster.

On it. Bring them here.

Drop the shade cloth roll, grab two wooden braces from the pile by the wall, and position them against the tray bases on the leeward side of the garden wall, then lash the trays to the wall anchors with the new rope.

💭 peek at the thought

The trays need securing now - salt spray is already hitting the kitchen window. Shade cloth can wait two minutes. Jenny's moving them to the garden wall; I'll brace them there and lash them down.

Careful with the edges, they're still damp.

hand the seed trays to Kevin, then set them on the braces he positioned.

💭 peek at the thought

The salt is coming in harder than yesterday. If these seeds get soaked, the whole season is gone.

Got it. Firm, not tight.

Take the trays from Jenny, set them carefully on the wooden braces against the garden wall, then run the new half-inch rope over the tray lips and secure each to the wall anchors with rolling hitches — snug enough to hold against the gusts,

💭 peek at the thought

Damp trays, fragile seedlings. Don't crush the edges. Lash them firm but not tight enough to bow the plastic.

🌿 Jenny12:59

Thanks. Check the hitches again once the wind dies down.

crouch down to inspect the tension on the rope, watching the salt mist settle on the stone wall.

💭 peek at the thought

He's right, if I pull too hard I'll crush the seedlings before they even start.
