This weekend we worked (ok, mostly Ash) half days here and there. Ash finished planting and mulching the blueberries and their support plants. The cardboard down the middle is a future path that will be mulched with wood chips. We also mulched the figs, the pear tree, and the pomegranate tree that we planted after our wedding. Ash added top soil into the swales, into the trenches around the pear tree and in between the figs, and then he sowed red clover seeds. This is a cover crop that will die in the spring and release nitrogen into the soil, feeding the plants and keeping other weeds from growing around the trees... it will also look really nice.
AND NOW IT IS RAINING!
