Salad Table Update — February 8, 2016

by A.J. Coltrane

It feels like an early spring around here. The salad table will need to be planted soon:

The top shelf has some scrawny romaine. There’s also some spindly spinach. The big masses of happy green stuff are Miner’s Lettuce. We like the taste and it appears to be indestructible. I’ll be interested to see if it tries to completely take over the salad table.

In the other containers, the mache and radishes are really starting to take off, after pouting all winter. The carrots still have a ways to go.

Finally… Peas!

Well, soon. Planted today.
