    Update on Extreme Intercropping: Peppers and Lettuce in a Vineyard

    Vegetable Stew Fully (Almost) From The Garden

    A vegetable stew I recently made from vegetables from my garden. I could have made it fully from the garden, but I decided to splurge a bit and added some extra items. Below is a chart of each item and its source. Do note: The “Not From the Garden” items…

    Extreme Intercropping: Cabbage in a Vineyard

    Extending my extreme intercropping experiments this year. And this is cabbage in a vineyard. The cabbage did very well. But i have to admit it did better in those areas where we lost vines and the cabbage had more light. But still overall, i will call this a success.

    Extreme Intercropping: Peppers and Lettuce in a Vineyard

    This is a no dig bed. Laid down under a vineyard row. Late season lettuce and peppers. I am curious how it goes. The lettuce will crop in the next 6 weeks, but the peppers should last all summer.

    Extreme Intercropping: Garlic and Tomatoes

    Planting tomatoes between my garlic. Good companion plants. And by the time the garlic is harvested, the tomatoes should be ready to bear fruit. The garlic does not hinder light to the tomatoes. And intercropping maximizes land use in both time and space.

    Spring Gift: Morel Mushrooms in the Garden

    This week, when laying back fleece on some lettuce, on a no dig section of my garden, I was greeted with a wonderful garden gift. Morel mushrooms amongst my lettuce. It was a good day. Garden gold. I picked some, but let others to grow more to be picked later.…
