The old beds have been dismantled and all crops removed including the bananas. Jonathan, the neighbor, did a fantastic job on this in one morning. He tasted his first fresh bananas before cutting they down. I suggested he take special care for one and that he could have it. HE BEAMED at me. Needless to say, he carefully removed that banana, which was about my height, to plant in HIS garden.
COMPOST IS DOWN. Two weeks later. Dang. Hard to believe that is $1200 worth of compost.
Most of the landscape fabric is laid. Thank you Frank, Kay, Jonathan, and KEITH. The two sides are still missing but all of the horizontal pieces are laid on freshly raked compost.
Cover crops I have ready to spread tomorrow (if my husband does not strap me to the bed to keep me off my foot) to keep weeds at bay while my trees get established:
- Sissoo/Brazilian spinach
- 7-year, Madagascar Lima Beans
- RED BEAUTY amaranth
- Egyptian spinach
