We're also trying Turkish Orange and Pingtung Long Eggplants, Dr. Whyche's Tomatillo and Watham Broccoli.
The onions are overflowing with Alisa Craig and Red Marble mixed in with King Henry Leeks and Red Celery.
Yesterday we placed our barn wood bluebird box up just in time for the arrival of our Western Bluebird pair. It took them exactly 3 minutes to investigate a possible new home for this years brood or two.
We're also raking in our cover crops in certain beds to amend the soil and change the structure a bit. We'll be experimenting with turning it over into the bed after it's grown a cycle and using what's called green manures.
Green manures integrate cover crops with seasonal food crops and serve as a mulch and replenisher simultaneously. This in theory should cut down on "weeding" and provide habitat for beneficial insects.
Mmm...coffee bags filled with straw and bean shells. It's starting to smell like fresh coffee in the greenhouse
