Mmmmm... collards! We love collards around our house. We had a neighbor give us many bags of them over the last season. We may plant them this year if things go well in the garden.

Hubby and I had some pretty good salads last night. I planted some red lettuce, bak choi, arugula, and a nice green romaine back the end of january. The baby greens are just wonderful now. I had to cover everything with clear plastic for about a week when temps were 15-20ish at night and in the high 20’s/low 30’s during the day. But since it’s warmed up down here they’ve really taken off. My green onions and peas are doing well too. Still a little to go for them. Radishes should be done in about a week. Chinese cabbages are probably a month out also.

Plan to plant more peas tomorrow evening once the rain’s gone and get started on another flat of peppers and tomatoes. The two flats I started about 6w ago are doing spiffily right now. Putting a heating pad under the pepper flat really helped those get right on up in my unheated garage. Hubby got me a bunch of the peat pots last fall, on sale, so I’m going to start cucumbers, zucchinis, patty pans and maybe some winter squashes as well. Busy weekend at my house!
