Fernie Cover Crop experiment begins!

A side bonus of building 12 new beds in the middle of summer is that we can do some experimentation with cover crops in our area. As of August 9th, 9 of the plots were planted with cover crops from West Coast Seeds. 2 of the plots were planted with winter hardy carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, and 1 was planted earlier in the year with peppers and geraniums.

This journal will follow the growth of the crops with weekly photo updates, and descriptions.

Many thanks to the federal governments New Horizons Program that has funded our Keeping Food Real project that allowed the construction. Let the fun begin!
