Week 38 - Bed PC3

We dug this bed, broke up the hard pan, tried to remove as many stones as we could, and buried the sod to keep the existing fertility in the bed. We filled the raised bed with leeks transplants:

• Monstruoso di Carentan - (72 transplants) an early variety that can be harvested from Oct to Jan.

This is obviously not a polycrop bed, but we are using the bed to take some of the leeks that we did not have room for in the other gardens. We sowed too many leeks, or more accurately, we did not thin them out enough.







These leeks should have been transplanted earlier, and will not likely reach a substantial size before growth slows down over winter.
