    		Well we've come a long way if you look at one of the previous pictures I made the mistake of re-tilling after I layered straw for mulch. Big no no. Not enough nitrogen and to much carbon the microorganism go into a feeding frenzy on the carbon and in order to do that the need to eat up all of the nitrogen you have left. Basically my plants starved. When all else fails read some books. I'll have more pictures up soon for this years garden.
