A great start: early growth and produce

Green manure crop is thriving after 6 weeks.


My crop of two varieties of Mizuna..



Tokyo Bekana Cabbage...


Shungiku ...


Daikon...


One of the handful of globe artichoke (purple) plants.  They will need space.



Today I thinned out the daikon plants and picked some kabu (Japanese turnips).  I am very happy about the soil fertility.

March sowing completed.

On 12 March 2012, plot has been topdressed with blood & bone, gypsum and sown with seeds, including green manure crop of barley, fenugreek and broad beans.
