I usually underplant a lot of things with birdsfoot trefoil and nasturtiums but with no rain to help them along they weren't effective cover crops this year. I ended up using straw between plants instead to mulch.

I'm going to switch to more dwarf and micro dwarf varieties of tomatoes for earlier season cropping and less demand for watering. Will plant alongside kale cavalo nero. I skipped kale this year but apparently they've been thugs through the heat w/o needing much water. 3/n #allotment
