We dug up the last of the potatoes out of this bed, which were still in good condition. We cleared all of the weeds and created a seedbed across the entire planting area, including under the peas, into which we sowed:
- White Clover - a low lying nitrogen fixing crop that is suitable for undersowing
The clover will grow where there is space and light for the next few months and wen the peas are finished and pulled up, the clover will continue to grow slowly throughout the winter. If the weather is reasonable, the clover will fill the bed and can remain until we are ready to sow into the bed next spring, at which time it can be dug in as a composting crop, adding fertility to the soil, including lots of nitrogen.
The peas continue to grow ...
... and produce new pods each week.
