Phinney Home Gardener

The end of March and there are a few things left over from fall planting; spinach, beets,chard, collards and kale. Kale is tasty after all the frost. I planted a dozen varieties of garlic and they have all sprouted and are about 6" tall. Turned in home made compost and some chicken manure last week. Sprouted peas, snow peas and sweet peas in water in the window sill and set out last week. The peas are just breaking the soil and don't appear to have rotted in the downpours that we had.
Today I set out red onions and Russian black kale. Planted seed for Mache, hope it isn't too late for that tasty lettuce.
I have a small garden and hope to feed at least 2 people until the end of fall from this urban raised bed and pot garden. We shall see how it goes.
