Catching Up

Since that last post nearly half a year ago, a lot has happened. It took a long time for those seeds to grow. Planted in October, they chilled in the soil - hardly growing at best - for about four months. I don't know exactly how much the wooden/glass cold frame increases the temperature. While it seems significant, it wasn't until February that the seedlings started growing. Since then, the greens in the cold frame have produced wonderfully. It kick-started the season by at least three months and we've been enjoying plenty of spinach, arugula, kale, mustard greens and some chard.
The edible deck is nearly all planted and we've added a 400 square plot (at Hawthorne Growing Gardens).
