So, many of you know that I have become a pretty avid organic gardener over the past three years. Last year was our first year in a new space, and this year, I'm proud to unveil the work we have done at Wendigo Farms as of today.
We spent quite a bit of time on ground prep this year. we covered the entire portion that you will see here with amazing black compost about a month ago, tilled it under, and then let it sit for a few weeks. The results have been amazing. All that you are about to see, except for the garlic patch, has been planted in the last two weeks...

This is our "guerilla garden" area. Ostensibly an experiment by Wendy's dad, essentially this is an attempt to grow, at least a little, like mam nature does it. Very close together, we expect this will be just packed with life. Lots of bush beans, some tomatoes, onions, and others I don't even remember.

From right to left; red garlic, white garlic, elephant garlic, beets. The garlic was planted in October of last year. Garlic does MUCH better when you grow it through a winter.

Tomatoes, red and white cabbage, and onions. Some of you may notice the stake amidst the cabbage. Those are also tomato plants. Nature doesn't ten to grown things in a segregated fashion, and neither do we. Many plants thrive when planted nigh on top of one another, tomatoes and cabbages get along like, well, peas and carrots.

Fell free to fire off any questions you may have. Happy gardening!
