Garden LogA small notebook about a backyard plot
Vegetables, six hens, and a lot of trial and error. Mostly written for myself, so next year I make fewer mistakes.
In the ground right now
- Garlic along the east fence
- Cabbage under netting
- Spring onions (what is left of them)
- Spinach going in next week
