31 Oct – I weeded the grass pile to the south-west of the house.  After weeding I planted yams, artichokes and comfrey (all from Koanga Gardens).  The area was then covered with peastraw.

1 Nov – I began preparations for a new area of vegetable garden.  This is immediately to the south of the existing vegetable garden.  So far all I have done is to cover the area with black plastic.  Eventually, the area will be used to plant potatoes, corn etc.
