It was great today, sunny and 60 degrees. This bit of sun and warmth really made nearly everything grow. You could see the difference from leaving in the morning and coming home this evening.
I have some plants bolting which I don't quite understand, collards all but one bolting, maybe too much sun after such cold makes the plant think it is fall or else the collards I have a winter plants. One plant is terrifc the rest are gone and will shortly become compost.
The list of what grew today or sprouted:
potatoes are about 3" tall, lettuce now about 1", peas are still slow but even they grew a bit today. Garlic and onions grew a few inches, and so did the radishes. Slow going for the broccoli and I am thinking of covering them to see if that will help.
My arrugula and cilantro have yet to sprout. However chives are growing and they were delicious on new potatoes(market bought), giving me hope for a meal from the garden this year.
Forgot to mention that I planted some russet potatoes April 30th.
