Week 4, Season 14-15

The harvests have started off well this year at least once we got started.  The weather has been tame and the pests have been fairly low aside from the turnip greens.  We are about to start a big planting of more kale, broccoli, komatsuna, lettuce, and cabbage.  Our plantings go in waves out in the field around October and then sporadic crops here and there and then a big wave this next week.  It would be nice if I could plan it better for when I have time off.
Our sweet potato crop is awesome and am glad to have tried it out.  This weekend will be pick number four and we are a little over half way down the row.  Aside from some of the wacky shapes and gargantuan sizes, they taste great and are holding well in the field.  I shut the irrigation drip tube on them about six weeks ago and they are doing fine holding in the ground.
I have started putting in some of the winter cover crops on the fallow fields and completed one field with rye, rye grass, and clover.  I am having a late start this year.  I've got two more fields to do before we are finished.  I'm also trying to spread a self-seeding, indigenous legume that grows wild to all the fields to help do some of the work for us during the winter.  My goal is naturally appearing, self seeding, perennial cover crops that I don't need to buy/sow each year for both winter and summer.  We are a few years from that goal but are getting closer each season.
I took a picture of some of the red cabbage in the field to share.  I love to walk by it and check it out.  It has a beautiful color and hope it will harvest well later on.
