the green manures are coming up in the sweet corn bed...i can see rye and dixie clover in the top photo...that's a blade of rye in the second photo but that's winter wheat all around it...cover crop or a stand of wheat for the spring...hasn't been decided yet...the green manures in the old potato bed are filling in nicely and some of the yellow peas have begun to blossom...nifty little white flowers...i wonder if the pods will beat the frost...the last photo is of the yeoman geraniums standing guard in the strawberry bed...effective control for japanese beetles.
Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
