Rapid Growth Toward Harvest

IMG_4500As the weather warms in April and May, the seedlings and transplants really take off.  To the left are potatoes.  We grew these under plastic, as you can see.  This made it difficult to hill the soil around the growing potatoes.  We got a good crop of smaller ones, but next year we’ll keep the plastic off of these.  The weed may get a foothold, but the potatoes should grow bigger.

The photos below are of chinese (napa) cabbage, traditional cabbage and broccoli all growing toward an expected harvest in early May.  You see the cucumbers are just getting started while the onions and lettuces in the background are thriving.
