The vetch is blooming a beautiful purple. We really like this cover. It kills easily by low mowing / cutting with the tractor or with hand trimmer. It kills into a thick mat helping to further suppress weeds and we envision it will be quite an addition to the tilth of our soils when we turn it in this fall.

And it's scape time! We noticed them last week and now several varieties have produced scapes:
Tzan
Bavarian Purple
Russian Red
Spanish Roja
Siberian
Polish Hardneck
Music
Kazakhstan
We harvested some and grilled them for dinner last night. They are so delicious and have much more garlic flavor than the green garlic.We were walking the farm to document if we had any rain/watershed areas of concern and while standing behind the shop looking at our low growing fields (not yet in production), I happened to glance to the side and only about 4' away from me was a sleeping fawn. I'm sure the mom was somewhere near watching us closely.
