We planted some leguminous O'odham peas, snap peas, garbanzo beans; as well as lettuce and broccoli. The space around the plants was covered with chopped up corn stalk pieces as mulch to keep the soil temperature regulated and retain moisture.
As for the rest of the garden, the tepary beans are growing nicely, the sunflowers are still flowering, and the amaranth (over 8 feet tall!!) is ready to harvest!
When all is said and done for our summer crops, we are going to be having an all-hands-on-deck work weekend ***December 4th and 5th*** to dismantle the decomposing straw-bale raised bed and construct a series of sunken beds in its place. Everyone is encouraged to come by, grab a shovel, eat some delicious treats, and help us make our garden a beautiful winter veggie paradise!
In the meantime, our young, healthy plants are still anxiously awaiting their move...
