Crimping winter rye. We plant winter rye in October and it slowly grows over the winter. In the spring, it takes off and gets above our heads. Now that it has reached maturity, we crimped the rye and will plant our winter squash directly into the mulch made by the Rye. We rotate the area of the field each year. This adds organic matter to our soil, reduces erosion, and provides mulch to make us more resilient during times of drought or heavy rain.

Assassin bugs- Part One!!!! We are using beneficial insects to reduce pests like aphids on our crops. The drought has stressed our plants (and us!), and we have brought in some hard working insects to help us out. While these insects occur naturally as well, we are bringing in some additional assassin bugs, lacewings, and ladybugs to help balance out our ecosystem. Aphids are tiny insects that suck sap out of vegetables, and they reproduce asexually. They can multiply extremely quickly as the mama aphids give live birth to babies that are already pregnant!! So, aphids populations can quickly get out of control on crops, which is why we are bringing in some bug workers to help out. Nature is crazy y’all.
