After a slow start, planting at last

Spring has been a bumpy ride as it is wont to be! With a very wet winter and rain continuing into early spring we had a hard time getting in our spring crops. April 9^th proved to be a challenge for Day Manager, Kris Weigle and company as they valiantly sowed carrot seed in 25-30 MPH winds with gusts of 50!  But as of April 16 we have pulled the spring beds and planted all the planned seed except for the onions. Because of a seed shortage delay we have missed the window to plant green onions for Spring. But no worries—onions can just as happily be planted in the fall! 

There was some switching of what got planted in which beds because of soil arability of newly pulled beds, but other than that we planted: 2-3 types of kale, scarlet Nantes Carrots, Bloomsdale Longstanding Spinach, Rainbow Swiss Chard, English peas, four different types of lettuce, cilantro and my all-time favorite—radishes “on the end”!
