Growing Methods

We grow all our vegetables organically, using kitchen compost and composted horse manure to amend the soil in spring, and liquid seaweed, fish fertilizer and molasses as additional feed throughout a growing season. After the harvest, potato and garlic beds are planted with buckwheat for "green manure," and leave it in the field to be killed by frost. The melons, peppers, and tomatoes are harvested much later, so we plant winter rye in early to mid October, after removing the plants. Winter rye grows through the winter months and it is ready to be cut in April to early May, just in time to plant the new tomato and pepper crops!

Since 2013, we started to add alfalfa meal to vegetable beds instead of fish fertilizer, and the results were so impressive. Alfalfa meal is a great natural fertilizer and soil enhancer, and if added in larger quantities along with other organic amendments like compost, straw, and coffee grinds, it also helps to warm up the soil significantly in early spring, allowing us to set out plants about 2 weeks earlier.

We grow most of my tomatoes under plastic cover, to protect from foliage diseases that usually come after rain. We do not use any fungicides or pesticides in the garden.

Peppers and melons are grown in non-heated greenhouses, since the Pacific Northwest summers are usually not hot enough to ripen the fruit before the frost. This also allows us to set out transplants earlier in spring, extending the growing season significantly.

Our garden backs onto wilderness, and deer visit regularly to forage; occasionally we see black bears. We tried a variety of deer repellents and netting to control deer and bear damage, and found they did not work well, so we installed a high-voltage electric fence around the garden area. This effectively stopped both deer and bear "attacks."
