Well, here we are in February and things are already coming up green in the garden! Most of our root crops in the box this year got a good start just after the frost this January... very wierd for San Diego! All of the new sprouts are up, much to the delight of every bird in the neighborhood! So, we spent this weekend putting bird netting over the new babies. Let's see how many actually make it this year! So far so good though. We have lettuce, spinach, onions, leeks, beets, turnips, parsnips, radishes, and carrots all coming up small but happy.
In the ground plot, those brussels sprouts and brocolli plants that were all on sale to clear out the winter crop are doing wonderfully! We even have some baby brocolli florettes coming up in the middles of the plants!
This weekend will see a few more additions... potatoes go in the buckets if we can come up with some slug proof buckets out on Craig's list and time to start on the greenhouse seedlings for Spring!
