About a month since planting, and the Hügel is doing "OK". The tomato plant on top is going like gangbusters, and the broccoli seems to be doing well. The English thyme is also starting to spread. A few plants are hanging in there but not flourishing, such as the peppers and strawberries. These were the ones that bore the brunt of the skunk attacks though (which have stopped now that the fence is there) and were uprooted several times. Overall I'm encouraged. These mounds are generally not expected to be very productive until year 2, and the stuff I planted was chosen arbitrarily. I'll take some cues from what works well this year, and plant more of that stuff next year.
