Planted in 2024 at new fenced off beds at Johnson and in sunflower row at home to enrich the soil. Deder love to eat these, so that's what happened to the 2023 new fall crop. Fencing will deter them.

Ordering more for cover cropping at CSS when removing strawberries and to use in enrich soil in dahlia beds and in outside beds at Johnson and at CSS. |

Hoping I might see a flower or two before the frost comes in October, however deer came and ate up the young plants. Evidently it's a favorite!) February 26, 2024: Seeds sown (Planted at Johnson Project grow with fencing, furthest north row inside next to the fence. Added fencing to protect from deer.) February 27, 2024: Seeds sown (Planted in sunflower row at home. Will need to see if they are bothered by rabbits. Will add spray to plantings when sprouts start to emerge: Mix warm water with dish soap, garlic cloves and hot sauce and spray your plants right before the sun goes down.) |
