Early Spring Planting
Posted in farm happenings on Feb 8th, 2008
This week, we’ve gotten a second round of radishes planted and the first round of hakurei turnips, a sweet, tasty white salad turnip. Both of these were planted in the high tunnel. Indoors, we’ve also started our first flat of broccoli and plan to start more seedlings over the next few weeks.
Good news is that the first round of radishes germinated much better than I had thought. This recent spate of warm weather gave them the boost they needed. This first round is a white icicle radish; the second round is a radish known as d’avignon, a long French radish.
Today I’ll be back out in the high tunnel, getting a round of beets planted and new rounds of both tatsoi and swiss chard for spring baby greens.
