Easy Sourdough Start to Finish! http://www.aldermanfarms.net/sourdough http://www.aldermanfarms.net A few weeks ago we had the idea to plant some peas out by the road, and put up signs that said something like "Peas for the Pickin', Come and Get 'Em." Well, hectic schedules and tons of rain didn't allow us to do it then, but we caught up enough and the weather cooperated enough for us to do it this weekend. I tilled seven rows about 150' long, and we planted the first three rows (starting at the road) with "Big Boy" peas - and ran out of peas! So (and I forgot to say this on the video), we ended up planting about a half row of "Zucchini Gray" squash, a couple rows of mustard greens, and a half a row of "Mammoth Red Mangel" beets (for the critters, mostly). We spaced the rows far enough apart so we can drive the lawnmower between them later on. Ha! By the way, all our seeds come from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company (www.rareseeds.com), and we don't get paid to say that. ;-) We'll keep you posted on the progress!
