Keyhole Garden Progress – March 4, 2020

The winter crops continue their rotation out of the bed. Broccoli is all done (save 1 plant), and the Romaine lettuce and peas are calling it quits as well.

We cut the cilantro down to an inch high to keep it leafy and stop it from bolting. I replaced the broccoli with cucumbers (National Pickling) over this past weekend and infilled some of the empty spot in the lettuces with spinach (Space) I’d been holding in the greenhouse.

Just a couple more weeks and the keyhole garden will have been in continuous production for a whole year and the soil is still as rich and loamy as ever. Pretty dang good performance for such a simple raised bed design.
