Green Manure January 6, 2024

 Some months ago I sowed rye grass in all the beds of the Vegetable Garden.  I didn't really plant a winter garden this year except for some arugula and lettuce.  I also sowed some parsley that is doing well.  But for the most part, this year I am just doing some soil conditioning.  

Below, I dug all the grass out and turned it under the soil.  It will rot during January and February and be ready for planting in the spring.

Below, another patch of rye, partially turned over.

Below, another before and after.

And another before and after.

And another.  The green that remains is arugula.

And another.  Arugula is the last man standing here as well.
