Spring 2026 #5/10: Planting Our Way into Spring Proper
We’ve been hardening off our more cold tolerant veggie plants, and this week’s priority is planting, planting, planting like mad so that next round of April rains can work their magic on thousands of little broccoli, bok choy and kale seedlings. Before heading out to the field for the day, the crew harvested another rotation of mixed Mustard Greens from the greenhouse, because they’re ready ahead of schedule thanks to the glorious bouts of weekend sunshine. The first smidge of Asparagus on its way from Eastern Washington for the CSA too! Dress it all up with slices of Purple Daikon, et voilà—you’re eatin’ pretty.
Have a great week,
Katie
PS: Folks have asked, and YES! We’ll have organic plant starts for all of you home gardeners available for sale in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
