The field has finally been cultivated and the planting has began.
We are planting in 100ft rows this year and every so often you look up to see how much further you have to go and the end never seems any nearer.
In the last week we have planted out over 700ft of potatoes, 6 different varieties of bush beans, tomatillos, over 200 hundred tomato plants and we think we have about another 400 plants to go!
Kohlrabi seeds and transplants, onions, shallots, leeks, beet transplant and seeds, carrots, turnip transplants and seed and more multipliers. We will continue the planting out for a few more weeks yet and then it will be time to start all the weeding.
Miles and miles of veggies = miles and miles of weeds...would you like to try alpaca fleece as a mulch?
