Fall Crops on the Way Out

I pulled up the fall crop of arugula. It had bolted and gotten bitter. The chickens will enjoy a little arugula salad! The turnip greens have also bolted, but we're eating the young, tender, turnip flower heads that look like little brocolli bunches. The mustard greens got infested with aphids. I pulled it all up. The kale is still tender and good, and the leaves are a bit larger now. We'll still have some good meals from this fall crop.



The cabbage planted in the fall looked like it was going to head up, but has bolted. The collards are starting to bolt, too, so we'll have to go ahead and eat them up. Broccoli plants that I put in last month are growing well. They made it through the cold nights.



The onions and sugar snaps are up and growing well. The spring crop of cooking greens and salad greens have popped up and look neat and tidy in their little green rows. The beets are just starting to peek through the dirt. No sign of potato plants.
