I was asked to list what we do, week by week, in this newsletter. So here it is.
Please note: we only grow what we will eat. No need to grow something neither of us will eat.
*Soil amended with rabbit manure
** Soil amended with fertilizers
All are rotated crops.
- Removed bed of failed onions and planted Egyptian spinach from my own seed saving*
- Removed bed of gone-by broccoli and planted New Kuroda carrots (summer carrots)*
- Removed bed of gone-by broccoli and planted bush okra*
