At the end of the last growing season I decided to rearrange the growing beds in the garden at Hawkscry, mainly to increase growing space and give room for the plants to spread out without impinging on the production, which happened this year when all the plants grew well but were to crowded to produce much. The work was accomplished over several weeks and involved double digging new areas where paths once were and then deeply lining the paths with mulch. I planted a thick cover crop of Austrian peas to over winter for nitrogen replenishment, which as of this writing has taken over and covered the beds with a thick head of green. Very satisfying to see and I am looking forward to the next growing season.
