I’m pulling my salad greens, today. They won’t survive the upcoming 90’s we’ll be starting AGAIN on Monday. Yes, I know it’s SUMMER now, but we’ve HAD SUMMER since May! Ugh!
I’m going to plant Zinnia in their place, thanks to Qiviut and her love of Zinnias. :)
Just pulled the lettuce/brassicas. Leaf lettuce was 2 foot tall and about to seed and the laves have been wilted for weeks. Ice Queen head lettuce never did form heads and in the last few days, four of six had doubled in height and started to bolt. Tried one leaf and it was bitter. The other two plants were bowl shaped, not bolting yet, not bitter, so I pulled them and brought them in for salads. Cabbage leaves to go with it since they aren’t even close to heading and leaves are still small, 3-4 inches. Broccoli never came close to producing. Peas are still hanging in there.
Definitely need to go with some Pete style tunnels next year so I can get an earlier start. Might try the brassicas for a Fall crop this year too.
