Garlic and Shallots, and Spinach - Oh, my!
April 22, 2008
Spinach popping up out of the straw!
Earth Day and I can't even work with the Earth! Drat! I was up at the farm yesterday (no, I don't actually live on the property, sad to say) to check out the fields. Well, they're drying out but are not dry enough to plant anything yet. I checked with my friends Sue and Gary and while they are getting some planting done most of their fields are still to wet to work, as well. Looks like we're all a bit behind where we'd like to be this season...
There is progress though! The tomato, pepper, eggplant, and basil seedlings are up and getting outdoors for sunbaths when the weather permits. The seed potatoes are busy greensprouting and, of course, the soil is busy warming and drying out!To see what else is popping up on the farm (garlic, shallots, and spinach in the fields, lettuces and cabbages in the cold frames), check out the new photos at http://www.reverencegardens.com/gallery.
