We've been preparing and planting a lot of vegetable beds in the last few days. Ash prepared the annual vegetable beds with sheet mulching and soil amendments, then gave the beds a nice cool-weather quilt of straw. We planted broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, arugula, red lettuce, red kale, and lacinato kale. Ash also sowed red clover and white clover seeds into the trenches, and covered them with straw. They are sprouting very quickly because of all the rain!!
