Hiding under the cover of the cold frame are lots of goodies. Last Tuesday, March 30, Michael planted some lettuce seeds and on Friday they had germinated. Michael had built the walls of the coldframe last fall and set it out. He didn't have time to add the cover. On Sunday, March 28, he added the cover. By Tuesday, the soil temp was 80 plus degrees. Granted we had an exceptional March but we'll take any blessings we can get. Yesterday we added red romaine lettuce, mesculun lettuce mix, cherry belle radishes, evergreen bunching onions, tall top early wonder beets (for the greens), kale, large ribbed dark green swiss chard (experiment), and tango celery (an experiment). We located the coldframe on last year's kitchen garden near the house. Just think, it is the first of April and in another week we should be enjoying at minium the lettuce Michael started last week. Yes!
