Brassica Planting!
Today I leveled (mostly) one of my 12" deep raised beds, by digging a hole down to the bottom of the 2' stake and then hammering the thing down with a mallet. Whee! HulkLyn Smash!
Then I used the backfilled hole to plant a Horseradish, because a 2' deep hole filled with loose dirt and peat is about the nicest, deepest hole I'm gonna get for a root plant like that.
Once I'd hauled over some more compost-dirt mix and peat moss and mixed the whole thing up like a particularly giant brownie mix, I started putting in the rest of the plants, yay! (well, first I laid down ground cloth).
This is Brassica Bed One - We're not growing many nightshades this year, to defeat the blight problem we've been having, so we're overcompensating with All Dah Brassicaceae. First in is a multi-color mix of cauliflower and then a four-pack of purple cauliflower. When I go back out, a row of baby bok choy. Whee!
It helps, I suppose, that we really like EATING brassicaeae.
