It's time to harvest all the greens. The over-wintered crops bolt at the first sign of warmth. But I've got help! Andrew and Brittany have been working in the garden, pulling up plants, clipping and sorting the edible leaves. Kale, collards, spinach, broccoli ... It's all on the way out and must be cut NOW!
Even the beets are bolting. This is disappointing, because the roots are not much developed at this point. These beets were planted in the fall. Experience has shown us that beets planted in March tend to have a better yield.

| Wash and Sort .... and yet to be cooked! |
A pile of carrots. Some are crispy and sweet. Some have a woody core. Feeling lucky?
The lettuce is not bolting, yet, and still tastes sweet. We are cutting it and eating it as fast as we can, but will leave what we can in the garden as long as possible.
It's definitely time to make room for the spring and summer crops.
