We Are Off!

Final count: 24

Spring has come early. Very early. Reading the tea leaves, because second guessing Mother Nature is like that, I planted onion, potato, lettuce, carrot, radish, peas seeds last week. More will go in today. Upstairs under grow lights broccoli and herbs are germinated and growing. Rough estimates show about thirty, that's right 30, broccoli plants, most are DiCicco. Yikes.

All the tiny seeds and seedlings must be watered daily or kaput. All that work for nothing.

Rutabagas are almost ready to eat. Kale is harvested weekly. Romaine lettuce, that overwintered, has put on growth from warm days and is wonderfully tender. Cabbages are coming out one by one. Because I planted the parsley where it could be covered it survived "The Epic Cold of January 2018" and we are eating it in something every day.

Referencing the heat and cold here:  Chives are up, thyme died. Oregano and mint were seriously knocked back. Rosemary took the cold well. Parsley, I covered and even then some died. Bay, growing in a pot, has minor leaf damage.
