Straw blahs

Bagged up the mass of straw I had set out in the fall.  Won't bother doing that again!

Straw for the chard, celery, and garlic

Bought a bale of straw at Ritchie's for $11.

Spread a bunch of it around the chard and celery by the vertical bed, as well as some on the various garlic areas.

Some chard/celery is un-strawed; will compare how they survive with the strawed parts.
