Spring things, and waking up early!

My clover seeds came!

No pics cause I was on a mission as soon as I saw them. So much stuff is going well that the milk fiasco is not getting me down.

That stuff isn't thawing in the fridge lol

So I planted clover seeds. 4 oz of seeds covered the north hugel pretty well, and there was a bit left over to plant around as well. That's more seeds than I anticipated, which is always fun. Not bad for $5!

The idea here is to fix nitrogen into this soil, hold the soil together, protect the bare soil from the elements, and help shield it from evaporation. A living mulch. I'm gonna love watching it come up.

When we came to this property eleven months ago, the first two things I did were to plant clover seeds on bare spots and to dig three beds right here where we've put this hugel bed. I feel like that's cool.

Time to go be on @pennsif's radio show!!!

Be blessed.
Be fruitful.
Stay relevant.
