Leftover lettuce and cabbage seedlings (front) and Tomato seedlings needing up potting! Was 29 degrees this am. Warmed up to the 60s! Pulled off the tarps and unplugged the pipe wrap I put inside to keep it warm. (Or else I would have cooked the plants!) In this row I have re oriental vegetables (Chinese cabbage/mizuma/mustard/choi) and lettuce plugs that were planted 5 days ago. (stuff that will grow quickly!) Golden Sweet peas and Swensons Swedish peas with support fencing. (I also put chicken wire fencing above the growing peas to prevent squirrels digging them up.) Everything tucked back into their low tunnels. I'll pull them off again in a week or so. Garlic and potato onions are growing well! Definitely not Le Jardin du Roi or Versaille, but should help with food costs!

(stuff that will grow quickly!)I've got some Tokyo turnips aka hakurei going but they're F1 hybrids so I'm looking at Tokinashi Turnip for next year. The Tokyo turnips are ready in 30-45 days. About 30 days for 1" and 45 for 2" and the tops are edible too. Tokinashi are 50 days.
