Mixing it up


 Nothing like a good guild of plants.

Sunflower seedlings on left where planted into a cover crop blend of seeds (peas, lupins, spinach, oats, crimson clover, wheat, buckwheat...) The sunflowers provide shade and then when harvested the cover crop grows until I'm ready to plant the next crop. Diversity of food, height, roots....

And well the flowers on the right are just a riot. All taking up different spaces and places. Shadign and feeding the insect life and soil in their own unique ways. Loving the purple millet and am going to save so much seed this year.

Buckets of learning

  

Its not just learning how to grow new things, but learning how to pick and process and how much you get from everything.

Am getting buckets of flowers and have so many bees.
