Spring Garden

I think I have finally learned not to plant tomatoes before the second week of May around here.  Change of patch frost last night and tonight meant I had to cover them in row covers.

The spring garden has been giving us asparagus, spinach and lettuce.  There is a good crop of chinese cabbage coming on from seeds.  I purchased regular cabbage seedlings this year due to poor performance the last two years of those I started from seeds.  Cut worm cut many of them, but I still have about ten plants looking good.

My new technique this year is to mow rows between the tilled rows.  The cuttings then being used for mulch.  I am supposed to get some hay real soon for mulching the planted rows.
