Productive raised beds

mid-June, 2012, WNC

My raised beds in the mountains have been amazing.  Filled with commercial compost, topped up with bags of mushroom compost, and enriched with Espoma organic slow-release fertilizer, theyve continued to produce. This spring, it was greens, snow peas, sugar snap peas, and lettuce.  Im harvesting beets and leeks now, along with greens (uh, you see that Tuscan kale plant in the center of the photograph!)

 But tomatoes are coming along nicely, along with squash plants and beans.  Soon, there will be a switch in our local food diet.  Itll be welcome, too.
