Early Plantings

I spent a pleasant afternoon in the garden, doing basic clean-up and getting some seed in the ground. I planted three rows of sugar snaps and one row of radishes. I switched out the row cover on the broccoli / cabbage bed. The original had several holes torn in it. I want to be sure to keep the cabbage moths out!


Plants put in the ground this past fall have wintered over very well.  The center stalks of the broccoli are starting to form.  Cabbage is thriving.  Collard leaves are finally getting some size on them. The mesclin mix, endive, and spinach are all filling out.  The Asian greens have been delicious in salads.  The mustard is living up to its name - "tender-green".  The baby kale have served us well, providing interest and variety to the soup pot or the bean dish.  You simply can not beat late winter greens!
