We’ve had really nice weather here in Central Missouri for the past week. I set out some broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbage that I started from seed. Planted a row of mixed greens, several varieties of which I’m trying for the first time this year. The beets I planted last week have already sprouted. Snap peas are about 6” tall and looking very happy. A front rolled in last night and brought some nice rain - 7/10” in the gauge this morning.

But the big excitement for the week - my order of mushroom spawn arrived in the mail yesterday - 1000 shiitake plugs that will be pounded one by one into holes drilled in oak logs. That should keep me busy until the ground dries enough to get back in the garden.
