A busy month. Another session tending our plot, this time spreading well rotted famryard manure. We feed the soil, and then the plants get their nutrients from the soil.
Weeding, dead heading, and cutting back the leaves on the tomato plants to encourage the fruit to ripen. We have a good crop of runner beans.
This is our tallest sunflower.
This bed has been very rarely watered in the summer drought of 2022.
