Can you see Edamame among the Nutsedge and cover crops?
Buckwheat at 11 o'clock
New plot with cardboard sheet mulching at 2 o'clock
Flowering tobacco (Nicotiana alata) grown in soft pot/grow bag
Fragrance of Jasmine and spider lily
Bush beans + Corn
Teeming with wildlife at our plot!
Sprouting Moringa
Trying to establish some trees in our plot to create some microclimates
We chose Moringa because it's beneficial for both humans and soil
Also it's a tropical plant, will winter-kill (hopefully not the roots), easy to control
Crimson clover dominated plot
One of the ways to suppress Nutsedge
Our new plot
Sheet mulch with cardboards
Sowed different cover crops, monarch buttefly kit seeds
Hopefully they will establish the ground before weeds come up
Raised bed update
Top left corner - kidney beans, hop and lima beans
Moving towards bottom right corner - Peppers (not doing too well), tomatoes
