The sunn hemp is in bloom!!!
For some reason I expected them to be white flowers.
But surprise!
They are YELLOW!
They are really beautiful little flowers.
A bit snap dragon ish...
(Kyle took these pictures with his fancy
new phone with an amazing camera!)
They say when they bloom the stems get
more woody and harder to incorporate into the soil.
Sunn Hemp is a cover crop that is then used
as "green manure" and is tilled back under.
The big field in the back won't be a problem
since Kyle will just run over it with the mulcher
and then with the tiller.
But we aren't sure about the front garden beds.
Do we harvest now?
Buy a little hand tiller thingie?
What????
I'm letting him handle it.
Kyle likes the yellow zinnias best.
Although he loves them all.
But the bright happy yellow ones are
his absolute favorites.
