It's been awhile since there were sprouts in the coldframe--- that experiment led to about twenty cuke plants in the ground and several that I gave away. The second round of cuke starts however have not sprouted yet and it seems like the cold spells we've had may have killed them. Oh well, something tells me we are going to have plenty of pickles. The farmers market officially started yesterday and we recieved our first farm share of the season from the Sippels: salad mix, lettuce, bok choy, and sorrell. All nine plots at the Hilltop plot have food growing in them. The long list is: snap peas, shelling peas, okra, radishes, cucumber, melon, watermelon, giant pumpkin, edamame, beet, yellow red and pimiento peppers, carrots, leeks, rainbow chard, onions, garlic, and heirloom tomatoes: yellow and regular brandywine, aunt ruby's, valencia, german striped, roman speckled, sungold, and some wild tomatoes from last year. I have to get some pictures of the bounty soon. Oh,and Susan's strawberries are doing really good!
