Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Pete Vukovich <pvukovic1@yahoo.com>]

Curious, what garlic, shallots and potatos are you growing? I'm trying a hardneck right now which is the only thing in the garden with yellow leaf tips, still could be nitrogen deficient, but seems unlikely, our inca purple, austrian bannana potatos on the other hand are definitely turning into weeds.

Just a note on that: We're not certified organic. We don't want to be and
we don't need any government stamp of approval. No chemicals here, only the
best tasting heirlooms we can find grown in the healthiest soil we can
make, and as a result we get the highest prices at any market where we
sell. As always we're still learning from mistakes, but we know one thing:
flavor sells. All varieties are not created equal.  Among our best tasting:
Nantes carrots, old Italian tomatoes & basil, Romano pole beans, red
onions, heirloom shallots, garlic, & winter squash. Potatoes will be iffy
this year along with snow peas. We'll see.
