The weather has been all over the place for the last month. Our last Spring frost came a little over two weeks later than usual. That’s made it very difficult for my poor little seedlings to figure out what’s going on.
As of last weekend, everything has been transplanted outside. My indoor seedlings did amazing! Turns out all those years of poor results were because of the lack of sunlight. So, the UV light was the perfect addition.
Currently, the following crops are growing outside:
- Lettuce (red leaf, butter heads, romaine) – Have harvested some red leaf lettuce and head lettuce is getting close.
- Spinach – Have harvested baby leaves a couple times.
- Kale – Have harvested baby leaves a couple times.
- Bok Choy – Planted seeds last week.
- Radishes – 1-2 weeks until harvest.
- Carrots – Seedlings have sprouted, still tiny, have not yet thinned.
- Tomatillos – Transplanted last week – nearly a foot tall.
- Tomatoes – Transplanted last week – all in good shape except my red variety – Rebekah Allen.
- Peas – Finally starting to climb the trellis – vines around 8″ tall.
- Sweet Potatoes – Transplanted last week.
Sweet Potatoes:
I’ve been able to harvest greens a couple times and have more to be harvested over the next couple days! Things seem to be going well now as the weather is steadily, if not slowly, warming.
