And the week flew by just like that. A delayed post. After the CSA delivery schedule for the shares yesterday we had to cover all exterior plantings with row cover to protect from frost-we worked until dark. A wonderful week in the gardens. We transplanted 2 varieties of early broccoli out and 3 different cabbages. Over 3000 plants went in over 2 days.
The early broccoli rows.
Scott got the irrigation all set up and the last of the plastic down.
We seeded in radish beds and had a huge turnip harvest from hoop 1 which we quickly reseeded with leafy green mixes for Summer CSA.
The turnips came out….
And by the next day 3 leafy green mixes seeded in.
Maeve and I finished upgrading the peppers and started all the watermelons and zucchini The greenhouse is FULL. We wait for this coldsnap to pass and then we can sprawl out a bit.
Filling pepper pots at our “dirt” station…
SPRING SHARE #3
And the bounty continues….asian mix, baby kale mix, beta mix (baby chard/beet tops), mini head lettuce, turnips, and another variety of spinach.
Asian mix-A second cutting off the crop we harvested 2 weeks ago. Snappy and spicy in flavor. Raw or saute. It is delicious.
Asian Mix Harvest.
Beta Mix-baby beet tops and mini swiss chard…this is my favorite mix we grow. I eat it raw in salads.

Baby Kale Mix- love this mix lightly wilted with a bit of olive oil. Delicious in broth too.

Mini head lettuce-A springtime favorite. Sweet and juicy.
Lettuce ready to harvest. This is our 1st lettuce crop out of hoop 2.
What a beauty.
Spinach-A new variety for us we wanted to try. HUGE leaves….great spinach variety for fresh eating in salads or smoothy drinks. Sweet flavor.
Turnips-A fantastic harvest. Spring turnips are the best. Texture is like butter and the flavor is sweet and juicy. Raw is best but can be stirfried.
HUGE harvest….
and a lot of snacking…
BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK…MORE TURNIPS, HEAD LETTUCE, CILANTRO, PAC CHOI, CHIVES, AND MORE….
