Huge crotalaria in garden view
I took this photo on a sunny morning, standing in the upper garden facing towards the western edge. Click to zoom it and see all the plants, which i have labeled. The golden crotolaria at the center of the image is part of a cover crop mix (fava, pigeon pea, crotolaria) i put on a bed just outside the garden space, to improve the soil. The favas grew up fastest then died back, now the pigeon peas are heavy with pods, and the crotolaria is huge, almost 3 meters tall and covered in beautiful yellow blossoms.
Labeled in the photo: eucalyptus, tangerine, green chard, yacon, basil, crotolaria, sunflowers, taro, ohia, cypress, ti plant, tahitian squash, sweet potato.
Not labeled, see if you can find them: soybeans, lettuce, broccoli, coffee, strelitzia (bird of paradise), marigolds.
