Certain things catch your eye,
But pursue only those
that capture your heart.

went back to turn the manure under and found that the soil looks really good. Using a rototiller is something new for us since we have thus far prepared our beds by hand, either double digging or sheet mulching, its definitely a big experiment. We ended up planting quinoa, red, green, and orange amaranth, black beans, and chickpeas in one area. Nearby we will plant sweet and popping corn. I was extremely excited at the prospect of growing sorghum for pressing and making syrup but that quickly faded when I found out it takes 50 gallons of pressed juice from the stalks to make 5 gallons of syrup (100 plants make only 6.5 gallons of juice). Anyhow we may try growing the grain sorghum which has a much higher yield.
