Cabbage and other veggies


We had a great time transplanting cabbage the other day. The seedling flats look lush and full which means we have far more seedlings than we need. We transplanted and transplanted like a little assembly line until we were tired. We only made it through a half of a flat. We still have another flat and a half of just cabbage. More pots are needed.



The hoop house has been tilled on one half and then half of that will contain rows of kale, swiss chard, carrots, and beets. While they do not need the extra protection, the soil is dry enough for us to begin working it. The garden areas are still quite wet and with our clay we are not able to start planting yet.



During a brief dry spell we did get the peas planted. The other day I checked on them and they are starting to poke their heads up. Lettuce and peas will be the first crops we will harvest.



Other crops were also started this weekend. We got both tomatoes and peppers started. Eggplants will be this coming weekend along with a second pea planting.
