Sorting out spring
May. 19th, 2022 11:31 amOkay. There's a bunch of stuff I just have to take off the table from the garden this year. No true potato seed, few physalis, no eggplant, no okra, a bunch of things just didn't get planted because I thought I was moving mid-June. What still gets planted:
I'm going to try a spring barley, fava, sweet alyssum, and maybe storage beet and mixed green bed. It's late but let's see how it goes. The barley will be dango mugi and sumire mochi. The fava will be my big mix. I'm trying just a few beets in many, many places to see if I can't avoid voles finding one patch or row and chomping on though.
I'm going to try a few spring wheat patches(khorasan, ceres, prelude, and chiddam blanc, and honestly maybe a couple spring barley) with favas, sweet alyssum, and corn patches. Probably a couple turnip seeds in here, and of course some greens of some kind, maybe lettuces, and maybe a couple salsify seeds in there too.
I'll do my bouchard dwarf soup peas in with the gaspe patches for a miniature mix. Salsify and scorzonoa will be good in here, the first year's growth on that is quite blade-like and shouldn't compete too much.
My bigger corns will get squashes planted between the patches but not amongst the stalks. I am going to try pole and runner beans on some of the outside stalks. As always, some flower and greens seeds will go between them, and this will get the most of my relatively low-density turnip and beets.
Snap peas will mostly go along the fence, even though they're largely dwarf and don't need support. Tall dry peas will go along the other fence.
I think the fall cabbages, diakon, and melons may end up together in the patch in the field that's still pretty wet, they won't need to go in for awhile and that'll be dry by then. Kales and raabs can go together.
It looks like tomatoes will be in rows and peppers will be in beds two plants wide. Maybe I can put the quick salad turnips in there too.
Am I missing anything?
Fava/grains will go in the wood field. Kale/raab will go in the shady side of the pig field. Flour corns will go in the south haskap garden with the intersectionality squash (hulless acorn). Flint corns will go in the far field with the maxima squashes and some tomatoes and peppers and dry brush beans. Gaspe will go in the pig field also with some tomatoes and peppers, and with the pepo squashes and bush snap beans. Late sowing of greens will go in the central garden when the ducks are out. Cucumbers will maybe go along the fence with the peas?
