March 16-May 2011

Spring begins and we continue our double digging efforts. The plan is to have three sections of the garden double dug by May 1, unfortunately it doesn't quite work out that way. No "Type 1" errors this time around, however, you will be pleased to see that I continue making mistakes of lesser proportions. Wait until you see what I did with the corn.

Also note that I tag this as "food forest" even though you will be seeing us plant typical garden vegetables and herbs. The reason for this is that our first year was a stress test- of both ourselves and the soil. As this was my first garden, I figured it would be easier for me to tell just how fertile (or infertile) out site was by cultivating mostly annuals. Once Fall 2011 comes around you will see us planting a perennial cover crop to prepare the soil for conversion to food forest.
