Plant Progress - Oct 17th


The green manure plants are looking healthy and vigorous. They survived the two day rains and the 90 degree heat that immediately followed. The Fava beans have also come up!


Aquadulce Fava Beans



Braco Mustard



Cereal Rye



Crimson Clover


There were a few holes in the Crimson Clover patch, which I suspect are squirrels, so I decided to lay down some chili pepper flakes - a trick I learned from last spring's tomato patch project.


And while I was doing that, Jared planted some winter veggies in the newly mulched narrow plots. We decided on broccoli, beets, lettuce and spinach. Sounds like a nice winter stew!
