slowing a bit ( but not stopping )...

a few of the beds have robust stands of clover ( top photo ) already adding nitrogen to the soil so adding in another green manure like alfalfa would make little sense...so, after we pulled out the corn stalks and any pole beans that had died back we broadcast in some winter rye ( second photo ) to act a s a reservoir for the excess nitrogen...they will be up and running soon...the jerusalem artichokes are slowly dying back ( third photo ) but still setting tubers..we could harvest but i am inclined to wait until the plants die back completely...then we can harvest and replant some tubers...on the north side of the bed this time around...the bean wall is still blooming and producing ( fourth photo ) jimbo lane took some home saturday and parker took a few this evening...they will go on until the first killing frost...finally ellen's flowers are still blooming as well...the season is progressing like they always do...more later.
