As payment for helping me plant onions this weekend, I went to the greenhouse and got six broccoli plants (he likes broccoli, he says) and set them out on the onion/kohlrabi row. I also planted six lettuce plants - four in the vegetable garden for Nanny, and two in a backyard flower bed for The Husband and me.
While it was still cold, I planted butter lettuce seeds in a bag of potting soil in the cold frame I bought last year. They're up and doing well. It would probably be a good idea to raise the lid on the cold frame, eh? At least in the daytime.
I've been hauling a tray of tomato plants on and off the porch since last week. I kind of wish I hadn't bought them so soon, but these old tried-and-true varieties vanish before it's time to plant. Last year I was stuck with a bunch of purple grape tomatoes that I started from seeds and some left-overs from the greenhouse. Our tomato crop was pitiful. I'd like for this next one to kick butt.
