Theory and Practice: success(ion)



well, out came the bok choy, chinese cabbage, peas, lettuce, and radishes. The carrots, beets broccoli shouldn't be too far behind, and the onions are starting to swell nicely. In went green snap beans and corn. I know its a bit late, but this is going to be sweet corn, not dent, so I can likely get it finished before the end of the season.

Since it is way to late to start the popcorn, that will have to wait until next year. I'm gonna give the potatoes more time in the ground and fill the holes as I harvest those with more beans. Once I have a big enough area I will start the fall crops that should have gone into the above bed in the potato bed. Its amazing how fast the seasons go when you are planning and planting. Got some more seed today from SESE, I plan to start leeks and overwinter them under (hopefully) a hoop house.

By the way, I had a taste of the Kimchi and it is getting nice and sour, not as hot as I'd like, but then again I didn't pulverize the dried cayenne, I just sliced it up in strips.

I just planted more sweet corn where I pulled up the garlic to see if it will grow any better in that section (the garlic did fairly well but I'll be putting more in during fall).
