Let's talk about the much more satisfying side of AG-growing...the cover crops, they really grow nicely... Here you can see the half of the patch where the planting sites will be located next year. Around end of September the strip of potato plants will receive an oil radish cover crop. The other strip, next to the fence, is the final cover crop (which I will leave there to die of frost over winter), it consists of Serradella (the tiny green stuff that looks like weeds everywhere) and a pattern of Zinnia (red circles), tall marigolds (green circles), strips of buckwheat (orange ellipses) and alternating fields with empty centers or sunflowers in there (blue circles).
