Feb 19. 20, 23: First peas and lettuce in!

Volunteer Sandy Quinn helps dig the bed for the lettuce and peas

 This is the spinach from the fall that made it through the winter in the cold frame inside the greenhouse...double protection!

Lettuce seeds and sprouted pea seeds planted Feb. 20 in bed 6, and a few sprouted lettuce seeds from the Master Gardener lettuce in a bag activity that I helped with at Centennial School.
Sprouted cabbage, arugula, and kale seeds planted Feb. 20 in bed 5. 
I know all of this is a gamble...after all it's only February.  But the warm weather encouraged me to give it a try.  I had the sprouted seeds from the seed viability tests, so I figured, why not?

 Checked on peas Feb. 23--looking good. 

 And cabbage looks good too!

 Thanks to Bill, the raspberry beds are all cut down and spread with composted manure.
