Week of May 12-18. Happy Mothers Day. After a wet 1st half of the weekend, weather continues to be seasonally cool with salad greens transitioning to a warm weather mix. More lettuce varieties,beet/chard greens,mixed mustards, sorrel, arugula,and chrysanthemum greens begin to dominate. Production becomes tricky as we shift to outdoor gardens from out of the winter green house. Intend to take plastic off early spring lettuce hoop house late this wk. and turn the chickens out onto Garden#1 rye grass. Lucy our buff orphington hen is in her 3rd wk. of brooding and we might have 6-10 chicks by next wk. Need to work on soaker hose irrigation for Garden #2 early summer lettuce.
