Mulching The Garden with Brad "Mulch" Mowers
Our harvest days continue, the garden plants are completing their first cycle and it is time to re-mulch the beds, plant new starters and harvest seeds for next season.

Martin Harvesting Swiss Chard
As we harvest we plant seeds directly into our beds to replenish the vegetables that are nearing the end of their first cycle.
Martin also provided a solution to our Cutter Ant problem....rice. We sprinkled white rice on the garden beds to divert the ants from eating the plants....they instead go after the rice and everyone is happy. We're trying several local organic solutions to this problem and will report their efficacy.

So Small, Yet So Full Of Life
Martin and The Girls Planting Seeds
At the end of the day we need to replenish our mature plants, so we are starting new plants from seed, as well as receiving starter plant donations from Pete and his crew.
And so it goes...
