The Old Veggie Patch in the orchard. Contains mainly spring potatoes (8 chitted "Mondials" and 30 unchitted "Buffelspoort" for a staggered crop) and winter seedlings (broccoli, beet, cabbage, chard, lettuce, onions). We have mainly clay soil but this patch has had a lot of compost added over the years.
