The garden is now producing asparagus, rhubarb and spinach. The rhubarb has gone into a cake, and two varieties of jelly. So far we are eating the asparagus and spinach either raw or just cooked fairly plain. A couple of neighbors have gotten asparagus.
The beets, chard, cabbage, broccoli and lettuce are doing fine. Average last frost for the area is April 11. Think I will wait a bit longer than that before setting out the tomatoes. The county extension agent also said that peppers and eggplants need soil temperatures of 70°F before they do much of anything except just "sit and pout." Guess I will wait even longer before setting them out.
The squash, cukes, melons, etc are sprouting in the greenhouse. Think I will start a few more things that have occurred to me. I saw a picture of "Black Sea Man" tomato and since I have a pack of seeds for it, think I will set out a couple. I also need to start some okra and I noticed I forgot to start a variety of pepper that I like to have. Back to the greenhouse.
