http://nutsedgefarm.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 22, 2009. Here we have an couple of shots including: Tilling in a rye and vetch cover crop to prepare for potato planting. Some evidence of deer intrusion. Site and greenhouse status. SNOW! Okay, it only flurried and none of it stuck, but we did get to see some flakes and for an extended period of time which is a big deal this far south! Brian C. Gandy.

Nutsedge Farm: November 2008
http://nutsedgefarm.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 17, 2008. Our Broccoli was happy to see the rain! Cold weather on the way. Broccoli with cereal rye and vetch cover crop beyond. Close up of rye with vetch. Rye acts as a good biomass addition to the soil, while vetch (a legume) fixes atmospheric nitrogen via rhizobium spp. bacteria contained in root nodules. This makes for a great cover crop by growing fertilizer and preventing run-off in our cool season downpours. The barn is nearing completion. Brian C. Gandy. Sunday, November 16, 2008.
