The Finest Soils

It’s spring! I am busy planting cucumbers, zucchini, squash, peas, and beans. The soil in the compost beds is deep, moist, and rich with nutrients. I amended the beds with the peas and beans with feather paste and fish meal and fish heads.

Healthy soil with built in compost.

Meanwhile I planted the winter leaks. These were leeks I stored in a five gallon bucket over the winter. They were still alive after the winter. So I planted them in these compost beds. They are not thriving, but they are still alive. I’ll keep posted!
