California Plot, 2013

     In 2011 and 2012, I had 3 plots, each 8' by 2 1/2 feet, named Washington, Oregon and California.  In 2013 I combined them into a new plot named California, 9 feet by 15 feet.  Crops planted in 2011 and 2012 were as follows:
                                                                                                                                    E
                                                                                                                                N +  S
                             2011                                                                      2012                W

|                                                                       |       |             h                                        Tomato    |

     In 2013 I covered the plot with manure and straw from the chicken coop and tilled it up.  On May 10, I planted the South 7 feet in Spinach, Burpee Bloomsdale Long Standing.  On the West half of that, I put about 10# of commercial compost directly in the spinach furrows, whereas on the east half I sprinkled about 10# on top after I planted.
     As I have more activities in the California plot, I will add them to this Post.
