Fields of Plenty.....fingers crossed!

We decided to cultivate 3/4 of an acre this year. At first we thought might take on an acre and a half but in the end made the decision to stay small and not go too crazy. First of all we 40 planted hybrid poplars along our north border to protect us from the cold winter winds and drift of any herbicides or pesticides from the field next door. We will probably cut them down in next spring so they bush out to get a decent hedge row. Then we started tilling the soil and have planted onions, leeks, spinach, carrots, beets, parsnips, bush beans, peas, kale, broccoli and assorted lettuces in the northern field (aprox 1/4 acre).
