Wish that I had researched more about mushroom compost before adding it to the soil in the tomato bed. Could have some chemical residue from mushroom production, hopefully not. Adding sheep and peat to the tomato and bean beds today to get them prepped for planting. Things that are ready to harvest today: radishes over-wintered Swiss Chard
