After winter we rotary tilled some cow manure in this long garden bed and early Mai we rotary tilled this garden bed again in preparation to sow. The soil looks promising.
I sowed about 2 weeks later and as you can see in the next picture I should have removed some weeds first and the grass (and what ever else is growing there) around the edge of the garden bed should have been mowed long before as well.
After sowing I covered the bed with old hay.
I only grew green beans, peas and flowers here. The broccoli and cauliflower did not sprout. The flowers where for the insects and I used them as a divider between the different variations of the vegetables. This bed is 1.8 Meters wide and I sowed 3 rows of green beans beside each other from about 10 meters long. The green beans did well and I was able to harvest more than enough to last us until the next growing season. The only thing I should do differently is have more space between the rows, since the density made it difficult for me to harvest and I should succession sow, since it was really too much to harvest at one time.
The peas where ok, but I really should start to trellis the peas. It is not really beneficial for the pea plants to lay on the ground. A lot of the pots looked unappetizing and got eaten at by slugs due to that, but the peas we could harvest tasted so good. There is nothing like home grown peas.
