On the subject of bulbs

Everything in bulb form is growing nicely - here are pics of iris and garlic.














I started my experiment with oats. The plan was to spread spoiled straw on a new area. Let the rains give it a good rinse with nutrient leaching into the soil. Rake the straw off to the side after it has dried again. Then till and sow with oats. The oats are both a cover crop and will be feed for the chickens.

Straw has been out there for a couple of weeks - rake, till and sow

























Here is a tomato at 5 weeks into the season. The reason it is so advanced is that it has been grown in a cold frame.
