May in motion


It's May and we are moving right along. This is a picture of the cover crops that do so well during the winter to keep the soil covered and enrich it at the same time. The rye provides tons of organic matter, and the crimson clover, with the conspicuous red flower, pull nitrogen from the air and stores it on root nodules to be released later for the spring and summer vegetable crops. Essentially free fertilizer. We are looking forward to the start of the harvest on June 5.
