Dill has also been a great producer this season and something I have not had much luck with in the past.


My friend and fellow permaculturist posing with the sunflowers.I have now harvested the seeds from about 10 big head sunflowers that have already bloomed and died and dried. I have a lot of seed for next season now. I also just planted a couple hundred of these on about 1/6th of an acre below my primary garden it will be quite the sight to behold soon.
These rows are more basil companion planted with tomatoes that are starting to come, and peppers. You can see a brilliant pawpaw planted on the berm below the swale in the back ground. The row beyond the peppers and basil has some Okra and bambara beans.
I am loving this corner of the farm now it is 4 rows planted with millet, sorghum and 2 rows of corn. The sorghum is getting to be over 10 feet tall and the millet is around 7 to 8 feet. You can see here a neighborhood dog who always likes to come visit is exploring the long grass that I have since weeded out and used to mulch the area.
Here you can see a nice row of corn and beans and also a couple of the plantain trees I have recently transplanted here.
The egg plants have started producing nicely. I am not sure how these will end up because they dont seem to be the local completely white ones or the dark purple ones, perhaps they were a cross bred from the seeds that I gathered. This makes it hard for me to know when they are ready to be picked because I don't know what color they should be.
I have been working the last week on catching up on the weeding and mulching as you can see here. I am happy to finally be getting a nice mulch later over a lot of the more sparsely planted areas.
Tomatoes are starting to come into season and looking good. There is some scaring from some of the pest pressure though this season. I am hoping as they continue to come I will get some perfect tomatoes. I pull them off the plant when they are starting to show some color because in addition to bugs there are also rats and humans as potential pests
