Spring is coming
Mar. 20th, 2011 10:58 pmWell, for the coast of Calif. it has already arrived. In the last couple of weeks,
tenacious_snail and I got a raised bed built. She told me what she wanted for size, and we laid it out. She bordered it with bricks, and I dug the base down about a foot, and filled it in with some really nice manure, to a depth of about 20 inches. This week I need to start putting the plants in. The arugula decided, last week, that it was tired of being small, and is starting to be of a size that pinching a few leaves for one's sandwich is possible. The dill is sprouting as are the various lettuces I seeded three weeks back.
Last years artichokes sent up suckers, and are already in "fruit"
The First of the Season

Those two are the already eaten. There are at least four more ready soon for the pot.

In another couple of weeks this will be all over leaves. It looks to have about half a dozen fruits on it, but they won't be ripe until May/June.
