What's Growing Now

Last year, we learned that Mother Nature likes to rain a lot in spring, making our soil unworkable and early planting nearly impossible, so this year we prepped the pea, onion and potato beds in late fall. With a recent two-day window of clear skies, we were able to plant four 125' beds of Torpedo Onion and Lancelot Leek plants.	Beautiful and tasty, Grandpa Admires from Seed Savers Exchange is our favorite lettuce. It grows rapidly and keeps on producing over a long time in the greenhouse. In the summer, it makes HUGE heads of lush lettuce.
This All Star Lettuce Mix was seeded in late September, planted in the greenhouse in late October, and we started harvesting it in December. Using individual leaf selection, we should continue to be provided with salad mix into May.	Kissed by cool spring rains, this Di Nero Kale Raab will add a sweet taste of spring to Excelsior salads and entrees.
Aptly named Bright Lights Chard standing tall and lush. Saved seed is still producing a variety of colors after several years.	The first Sugar Sprint snap pea blossoms!
Russian Banana Fingerling Potatoes, planted late December and nestled in a blanket of mulch, love the cool spring greenhouse.	Mice are no match for Miss Molly, the latest member of our integrated pest management system.
