Just ate half a jar of peanut butter. Am now ready for medieval crop rotation.

  • In the three field system of medieval crop rotation, legumes and food plants are planted concurrently. Fallow ground is the third rotational period.
  • Plants need nitrogen to grow properly, and must take it from the soil.
  • Legumes are very important, because they add nitrogen to the soil.
  • So the three field system was a radical new way to maintain soil quality over long periods.
  • As I am full of peanuts, I am analagous to a field full of peanut plants.
  • Thus, I would be ready for harvest, and crop rotation in the medieval period.
See, it's actually very funny.
