I has a sad.
Lettuce, mizuna, bok/pak choi, mustard...anything leafy green works well.
Beets?
I don't see why not, but I haven't grown beets in a minute. Just like other root crops they will need bone meal though, especially since the cucumbers ate up a lot of the nutrients.
Great.
I have amended the field with deer.
I got through processing the lettuce today. 3 full grocery bags and barely enough room in the fridge.
After harvesting last weekend I chopped and dropped all stalks (I cut them down into little pieces) and leaves I didn't use then buried them in the upper 3" of the planters. I've been doing this for a while now because it supercharges the soil and and makes the worm activity explode. There are so many baby worms right now it's insane. I just reset the planters with lollo rosso, prizehead, black seeded Simpson, and grand rapids.
Had to pull most of my last remaining fully blushed peppers.
It looks like I might get a freeze sometime next week so I'm going to try to get the remaining energy until right before the freeze then pull everything else.
Although not garden, the forest is a natural one I like learning.
I found a Hackberry Tree & berries, & picked up some Turkey tail for tea.

One of my tabasco plants has a full flush of flowers right now. Should be interesting to see if I get Christmas peppers.
Mine do too but there's just no way it's gonna happen.
I've never successfully overwintered pepper plants but I'm really gonna give it a go this time.

My jalepeno plants died off one after another, but the serrano and tobasco plants are doing just fine. I"ve mentioned this before but I have one serrano plant that I accidentally overwintered and now it's 3 or 4 years old.
