toso and i planted the following (!)
(the soil was a treasure, holy shit, i can't believe the amount of dark organic matter we found... it has been lying fallow for seven years without even being mowed. not a single rock. i would have to borrow steve's if i need any. check out his poetry on the tacoma silt entry.)
last saturday...
100 row ft of potato (i bought collectively with c. stein from blaine farmer)
300 row ft of fava beans
(favre beans since toso was from minnesota and labelling the stakes)
200 row ft of dragon carrot (purplish i think)
100 row ft of yellow carrot
100 row ft of orange carrot
200 row ft of cabbage (labelled 'for a small russian village')
1000 row ft of perimeter flowers
(we used a organic fertilizer in the the troughs, had previously limed and spread a 1/4" of composted cow manure.)
i fast-tilled ground to be slow-tilled next week. i heard, the grass competes for nitrogen right after tilling while decaying. i fast-tilled blank spots next to potato, carrots, and cabbage patches to have future plantings next to each other.
fast-tilled 6 rows for the morales brothers. $180 tiller for one day $40 shipping, 8 tractor hours allowed or $20/extra hour-----------------------=+
