Parsnips we planted in the fall. The tops kept getting eaten by some critter - but eventually they got green tops & came out alright. Graeme took this photo shortly before he roasted them.
We picked a few Fava beans over the last couple weeks. we are burring the remains to add nitrogen to the soil.
Erik & I planted Thai Basil, Traditional Basil and Chives in one of the 4x4 boxes today. It may be a bit cold now, but this shouldn't last too long. The other 4x4 box will get Dill and Cilantro.
Other: I bought Gypsum & spread it out over a couple plots. This is good for adding calcium to the ground (for tomatoes!) and more importantly breaking up the clay.
Everyone in the group has come out at some point this spring & helped clear the plots. We need to plug away at this for another week before we start doing massive planting. After that, just watering and weeding.
