Interplanting

In 2017 we reduced the east garden portion to half and planned some interplanting of two crops:  carrots/radishes, cabbage/butterhead, spinach/peas.  They seem to be working fine so far.  We had a few boo-boos:  we didn't interplant carrots & radishes; kales planted into carrots (maybe worth repeating that one intensionally).

2017 soil block recipe

Here's the 2017 soil block recipe.  Photos of the ingredients are in the order of the recipe.

(we should make this blog's Guide match this recipe) 

2017 first weekends

April 1 Marci lead our opening celebration.  Following that we prep'd the perennial beds by removing quack grass and transplanting some strawberries.  April 8 we added about 37 new asparagus and started first crops of spinach and lettuce in the N. tunnel.  Soon we get new strawberries.
