I arrived at the garden this afternoon to find all the weeds removed and the size of the garden increased by a factor of 2 or more. What’s even more amazing is that almost all the existing plants are perfectly OK. We don’t actually know what agents are responsible for this, but whoever it was worked magic, because I understand it all got done in one day — work that would take us a week with a pickax and shovel. Thank you so much to whoever’s responsible!

So we planned the winter crops, in order to make sure we’ve got something planted to keep down the weeds. Roper’s door (in Tunnel) contains the full list, which he will perhaps post here at some point when he’s got a bit of a break from work. Suffice it to say that there are a huge number of different greens coming, plus some root veggies, peas, squash, cucumbers, and various oniony things. Planting schedule will be forthcoming, but hasn’t been discussed yet; many of the seeds were ordered today, so we’ll have to wait for them to come in.

Incidentally, the new crop of beans seem to be doing great. If you want to pick some, go ahead; the ones growing in shadier parts of the plants are tastier.
