More photos from yesterday - Putney garden

Winter squash and weedy aisles. We will till, hoe and mulch them in the next few days. Want to come help??

From L to R, early potatoes, Garlic, onions of all kinds and sizes, leeks, late potatoes.

Early potatoes - these are planted in shallow trenches, barely covered with dirt. When the plants are 8+ inches tall, they are covered with soil about 4 inches deep. They are then mulched with straw. The garlic was planted last October, mulched all winter and when the snow melted, little sprouts shot up through the straw!
