9/28/2009 - Broccoli evaporated! Trying sweet potatoes

10/9/2009

The broccoli planted weeks ago just sort of disappeared without really growing very much - either critters ate them, or the roots suffered nitrogen burn from the manure.

So, I cut up some sweet potato sections from a store-bought sweet potato that had made some big long sprouts.  These I planted shallowly in the bed where the broccoli had been.  A long shot, but we'll see how they do.   Then, this whole bed will be root crops (other crop in the bed is beets), which is better for crop rotation.

Also, direct-planted turnips in the holes where turnup greens had not come up.
