| The sheaves cover a beginning garden and protect it from the frost. There will be strawberries galore at the beginning of summer. In the background you can see limbs laid across a ditch. At the bottom of the ditch the farmer will have bean plants. They can be covered in case of frost and they can use the branches to climb and stand tall. |
