April - 2.
halvdel
Lidt forsinket er vi i gang med kartoffelbedet, presenningen
er kommet af og de fæle kvikgræsrødder er
på vej op. Tro mig, hårdt arbejde, men når
det skal være uden gift, er der ingen vej uden om. En
fræser ville blot hakke alle rødderne i endnu
mindre stykker, der så alle ville spire og blive til
endnu mere kvikgræs. Til højre er bedet renset
og de tre første rækker kartofler i jorden.
Fidusen med kartofler er at de, for det første jo
bli'r så store at de skygger for evt. nye
kvikgræs spirer, og at de skal hyppes, hvorved man
får ram på endnu flere af
rødderne.

April - 2nd
half
A bit late, but now we're doing the potatobed. The tarpaulin
has come of, and those nasty couch grass roots are on their
way out. Hard work, believe me, but as we have chosen not to
use pesticides, there's no other way. A tiller would just
cut all the roots into smaller pieces that would soon sprout
and then there would be even more couchgrass. Below the bed
has been cleaned and the first three rows of potatoes are in
the ground. The advantage of growing potaoes here is, that
they will get big enough to shade for new couchgrass
sprouts, and that they have to be earthed, which will get
rid of even more of the remaining roots.

Mistbænkene
er ved at blive fyldt.
Herunder er der
majs, squash, porrene er kommet med ud, sammen med en
solbær-salvie, der har overvintret
indendørs.
Til højre er det tallerkensmækkere, nogle
tiloversblevne tagetes (de andre hygger sig i drivhuset),
spidskål og grønkål.

The gardenframes
are getting filled.
To the right
it's corn, squash, and the leeks have moved out, along with
a black currant sage that has lived indoors for the
winter.
Below it's nasturtium, some left over tagetes (the rest of
them are having a nice time in the greenhouse), spring
cabbage and kale.

Og så er
der selvfølgelig det, der gror af sig selv
|
And then of
course, the things that grows by itself
