Garden Status- March 27, 2008



Overwintered (might grow some more?):
tiny kale seedlings
1 broccoli
3 cabbage in very loose heads
some fine looking lettuce (probably the Winter Density cultivar)
some fine looking spinach
a few shabby collard greens (this got killed by bugs in the fall, the cold killed the bugs, now I'm hoping the collards can make it)
garlic (planted last October for a 2008 harvest.

Seeds new in the ground (nothing sprouted yet):
carrots
peas (sowed a few weeks ago)
spinach
beets
onions
lettuce
mesclun

Seedlings up, growing indoors:
swiss chard
tomatoes (low germination)

Seeded indoors:
peppers
cucumbers


Transplanted outdoors:
1 broccoli
Lettuce
kale (nice size, from neighbor K., as well as sprouts)
symposi? (an asian green)
1 other green.
This are mostly under plastic bottle cloches, then covered with white garden fabric to hold heat and protect from wind.

I have a few weeks gap here as I wait for the frost-free date to come, estimated at April 10th for this area. I suspect it will be later than that this year. In the meantime, my tomatoes and peppers need to grow a lot before they get to go outside.
