Chioggia Beets, and Swiss Chard

Seed Saving Bloomsdales Spinach.

Seed Saving from Purple Top Turnip

This years peppers- Tri Color Mini Belle, Chimayo, Carmen, and Melrose.

I also am showing my double digging and burying manure under the beds. The cooking manure raised the bed temps abut 20 degrees which the plants are loving, however it isn't safe to do so, because of the wonderful new herbicide Clopyralid, which apparently is omnipresent in hay, straw, manure, grass clippings, and finished compost. The good news is it is only potent at  3 parts per billion or greater and that it breaks down in 265 days. Please call somebody to get it banned.
