Greenville, KY

On the side of the road, I picked diverse plants and broadcasted the flowers seeds in various areas of the forest farming area. Then I added the remainder of the saved Basil seeds to the top of the hügelkultur.

A little south of the Blackberry bramble I planted Desiree, Yellow Finn, Pink Pearl, and Sangre seed potatoes in 4 different holes. To the holes I added crushed egg shells, Blackstrap Molasses, a whole Banana, Epsom salt, sand, compost, and Vermiculite. On an upper layer of the potatoes I sowed Scarlet Flax and/or brown flax, Buckwheat, and alternated with Crimson, Red, and White Clover. I also alternated with Anaheim and Serrano Peppers. In between the rows, on each side, and near the potatoes I sowed more Buckwheat. More clumps of sod were added to the barren area near the large brush pile.

I added 4 cloves of garlic to the Blackberry and Raspberry bramble respectively. I also added Buckwheat and Red Clover to each patch.

I watered the hügelkultur, bramble, and 2 of the potatoes.
