Yesterday was almost like summer – sunny and 65 degrees, but today is chilly and snow is predicted for Wednesday! Hopefully they are wrong.
Today I checked and hoed the vegetables that I sowed under my plastic hoop cloche. Everything has sprouted, and is looking good. Radishes, lettuce, brocolli raab, cabbage, and spinach are all up. The germination of my beet seed was pretty patchy.
Over the last week I have been transplanting starts from the green house into the garden, and I am continuing today. Anything that has sprouted its first true leaves is a candidate to be transplanted. This early date should be save for anything in the cabbage and mustard families, but it is a little chancy for lettuce – a hard frost might do them in, so I am setting out only a few lettuce plants, and transplanting the other lettuce seedlings into 3.5” pots in the greenhouse. Plants set out in the garden include cabbage, chinese cabbage, parsley (flat leaf), brocolli, cauliflower.
Baby parsley.
