A dry evening

Finally it is dry and warming up. Tiny green dots where the mesclun and mache were planted...very tiny. Thinking that perhaps I should use some row covers since it is so cold. It goes against my do nothing sort of gardening. I like the plant the seed, water, wait, weed and eat sort of gardening.
Tomorrow April 8th I will set out watermelon radishes, a Chinese heirloom, great on an appetizer plate, best in cool weather I think but I am going to try some anyway. Looking forward to having some of those in about 60 days. Since this radish is better in the fall, I will also plant some rainbow radishes, they will be fine to plant in this cool weather. I will try some in a pot too and see how they mature compared to being planted directly in the soil.
Tomorrow is golden beet day too. These are easy to plant with their big seed size and this should be a good time to plant them.
I think I am too late for Endive but perhaps a few seeds in a shady space just to see what happens....that is the fun of it all.
