Digging a Pizza Slice of earth

I put in a small winter Potager for my dear friend Martha Rose Shulman.  Its a pizza slice of earth between two sections of her building where she lives.  it is amazing how much you can grow in a small patch of earth if you amend the soil correctly and get a good depth and tilth going.

We planted fava beans "Broad Windsor" English peas "Little Marvel" and "Green Arrow", sweetpeas "Royal Family", various lettuces, mizuna, radish "French Blush", "Correnta" spinach, violas , cilantro, chard "Bright Lights", and Legion of Honour red poppies.

Gardening in  Southern CA is the best.
