  4. trees are going in the ground in the coming weeks: wild hawthorns and black elderberries, three of each....
  5. more calendula; we've planted red russian kale, some more brassicas given to us; built part of our shed. get ready for the rain.
  6. more dandelions...
  7. planted dandelions and calendula today; reading chapters from the 1970s anthology "Radical Agriculture," edited by Richard Merrill;
  8. losing starts faster than we plant them. yesterday's broccoli planting iffy; oak leaf lettuce in the ground today, radicchio is questionable
  9. weeded vegetable beds, new beds dug & planted w/dragon & purple haze carrots interspersed w/french bfast radishes, seeded spinach & tatsoi
  10. survived the first big rain of the season. basil growing abundantly, planting lots of brassicas and lettuces; gonna till outside the circle
  11. first writing about the farm, visit http://bit.ly/1KFiCr
  12. watering more ground to dig. the garlic has arrived. planting this week. more brassicas in the ground: chinese cabbage & purple top turnips
  13. collards in the ground. calendula in the ground. here's hoping they aren't eaten. autumn is here.
  14. we put up a fence around the perimeter of our vegetable beds. no more rabbits, hopefully, and the planting can begin in earnest
  15. sweet violet seedlings planted; silk mullein looks beautiful, planted into bigger pots. weeded goat's head (Tribulus terrestris) on the farm
  16. chard planted, dying; brassicas planted, being eaten by rabbits, potatoes planted, so far so good; have a shit ton of seedlings on the way
  17. communally planted a bunch of new seedlings last week, brassicas are still alive, mostly. replanted beet bed w/sunflowers, basil, soybeans
  18. the heat wave here continues unabated. planted a new round of burdock root seeds today.
  19. as of yesterday, we have planted the first brassicas. our direct seeded beets seem like they're pretty much a failure — overrun by weeds
  20. changed the design of farm. beds like swirling water rather than rays of the sun. planted new seedlings… kale, dandelion, lettuce, broccoli
