This month has been slow and steady. I do what I can then stop to rest. The hoop houses have been removed, the horse manure spread and I have begun digging up and planting one small area at a time. Life has been demanding, the weather uncooperative so the weeds are prolific but I'm not stressing. Seriously. I am not panicked.
There is an abundance of garlic and onion plants because I am going to make seasoning powder. Growing more herbs for cooking was one of last year's goals that was never realized.
Most of the remaining plants that survived winter under the hoop houses have been picked and the kale in the back two rows are now our main source of greens. It will remain that way until the new seedlings mature.
The Scarlet Kale has begun changing colors and going back to green since the weather is warming. The colder it gets the deeper scarlet it turns. A guest toured my garden this week and said her Scarlet Kale always remains the same color, no matter the temperature. Does anyone know why this is happening? I would love some answers.
The back of the garden has been turned under and is ready for the potatoes. Hopefully, they can be planted this week. Seeds from the bag of assorted unknowns have been tossed out in front of the short fence.
