Time for a garden update! It's chilly outside, but I had to do a walkthrough to see what's going on with my little leafy friends.... lets see what's happening!
On your left, we have Kale... on your right, we have Yukina Savoy, a lovely Asian cabbage-like green. Kale is clearly the winner, leafing out nicely and looking anxious to get into the ground. Savoy..... keep trying.
The spinach in the center of Vietnam is doing fine, but growing very slowly. I steal a few leaves off of each plant every weekend and it comes back, but I'm not seeing the 8" leaves I expected. We'll keep watching.
You must admit, the leafy variety looks delicious! Red India Mustard, Romaine, Spinach, Celery, and Cabbage. Yum!
Hard to see, but the seed tape of beets is showing some little sprouts.
Same here for the carrots seed tape. Not as impressive as my carrots-in-pots experiment.
I pulled aside the dirt to show that this carrot is almost ready to pull. The tasty orange meat is peeking out of the dirt, and the diameter is almost an inch.
Ok, here it is, my only cabbage. Not sure why all the others didn't make it, but this one looks cute!
Similarly amusing, here's my only celery plant. I planted lots, but they didn't survive. Still trying to germinate and grow more. Look at the cute little celery stalks : )
I'm so thrilled with Red India mustard. What a beautiful, hardy, vigorous, and tasty plant!
Another fancy little plant.... Green Ice Lettuce. Gorgeous on a sunny day, and delicious snipped off leaf by leaf into a salad.
This spinach is growing a bit faster than the other, so I'm hoping for large leaves soon.
