Cold Weather Garden Update

Our spring vegetables are really growing with the recent warmer weather and lots of rain.  We have Brocolli and Cauliflower plants about eight inches tall, snap peas are about the same and growing rapidly.  Our loose leaf lettuce and collards have sprouted, I thinned the rows last night.  As usual I grimmaced each time I pulled out a seedling!  White and yellow onions and radishes are coming along nicely, but still waiting on the green onion and carrot sprouts.  Hopefully with warmer weather coming this weekend (upper 80s) we will see some germination.

We also have started warm weather vegetables inside, including summer squash, winter squash, beans, and cucumbers.  Maranda also started a bunch of Mallow flowers and they are doing excellent.  In about three weeks after danger of last frost we will be moving those out to the garden.  Pics coming soon!
