Here's a couple photos from this morning's pre-work garden session. I started pulling up the cover crop.
I didn't do anything to the clover and it took off over the winter. This bed had the poorest growth last year and I'm hoping the cover crop will help with that. Legumes have nitrogen fixing nodules on their roots that help put nutrients back in the soil and increase the soil fertility. They also help keep weeds down and naturally fluff the soil with their fibrous roots to make my job come spring a little easier.
The kale has started to flower. That means I'll get to save seeds soon. Good thing, I think I'm out.
