Planting this season began in April with the perennial energy crops: miscanthus, switchgrass, jerusalem artichokes, and comfrey. The jerusalem artichokes we started from tubers, the comfrey from root stock, and the miscanthus were purchased at a nursery. As for the switchgrass, I am happy to say that we had great success in directly broadcasting the seed into a 4x10' bed.

Thus far we have planted in addition to those energy crops listed above: sunflowers, sugar beets, soy beans, bush beans, corn, kenaf, and buckwheat. The last couple weeks have involved a lot of planting, and the next couple will continue the trend.

I have attatched a calendar depicting what has been planted and what is yet to come.
