the bed in the top photo was maize and cucumbers with a couple of tomato plants...we cleared the maize and cucumbers which were pretty much done, but left the still producing tomatoes be ( second photo )...after we double dug and hoed the bed the garlic and winter rye cover crop in the third photo were planted by parker ( bottom photo )...there were so many cloves in that bulb cynthia said she had to double up the row to fit them all...this is a story that repeated itself as you will see when you read on.
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.
Great day in the garden and we got it all done just before the deluge!
ReplyDeleteour timing was impeccable Parker ( do i sense a new adjective/noun combination there? )...almost like we had a fair idea of what we were about...thanks for all the help.
