This week we have seen a significant change to our beds. Most beds have had all the plants previously growing in them removed along with hopefully all weeds. In my groups, bed B7, we had to be particularly thorough removing an invasive grass. More seemed to appear every time we aerated the soil with spading forks. When we were sure we had removed all the weeds, we began planting beet seedlings and potato eyes. Making sure to handle the seedlings gently, we spaced them in a triangular/hexagonal shape to maximize the 60 square feet area of our bed. We have planted about one third of our bed so far and I am looking forward to planting the rest and seeing how each bed grows over the next few months.
