Gardening

We're doing a spiral-like beet variety (think starlight mints), a 2" radish with pure white flesh and a dark purple skin, our standard purple potatoes, all kinds of shit. I'm sort of psyched about it. The garden had been organic for ten years now and the soil is fluffy and ready. Our compost doesn't even look like it needs to be sifted. We started with solid shale. That took many days with a huge pick axe to break up (with safety goggles of course). We still have a patty pan squash from this year's crop (still good) and a shitload of potatoes. We use damn near everything from the garden. If nothing else, my kids will know how to grow their own food should the need arise.
