the Hops bed is well established but on it's way to being extended....The hops themselves will be featured on and off. A truly amazing plant that reaches heights upwards of twenty feet!
We have begun the process of roughly staking out where the new square foot beds will be going. The ground is, of course, not level at all. Lots of work figuring out angles and preparing to build the beds but also very exciting. Himself is working on all of the mathematics, angles, arcs and straight lines, 90 degree angles and squares have been a prime topic of conversation!
The beds will be begun this week, so it is off to a very exciting adventure and some more research on plantings and soil enrichment and plant companions and our very very short growing season here. I am very excited that the beds will lend themselves to cold framing and other season extending measures.
