growth

This is what we're seeing in the field right now: peas, fava beans, mesclun, turnips, radishes, carrots, spinach, arugula, garlic, scallions, and beets. The garlic is of course the tallest (one foot) as it was planted last fall; the peas and fava beans are one to three inches tall, whereas everything else is about an inch.
All the potatoes are planted, and we have now moved on to onions. The first onions to go in are scallions, mini purplettes, and pearl drops.
In the greenhouse, our seedlings are looking really strong. They're all growing a little slower than I expected, but now seem to be benefitting from the increased levels of organic fertilizer that I've been applying. We'll be planting head lettuce and radicchio soon!
