Growing up...

This past week brought lots of exciting discoveries as I begin to uncover some of the crops that were 

tucked in for the past few weeks since they were transplanted. Using “row covers” on the crops gives 

them the chance to grow in a protected warm place for several weeks while they get established in the 

garden. Using row covers also means that I can’t really see what is going on under the covers until the 

plants really start to bust out! Most of the surprises were positive, the broccoli has tiny baby broccoli 

that will be ready soon, the summer squash has flowers waiting to be pollinated and the kale is just 

about ready to be picked! Of course there was also the less exciting surprises, like discovering that many 

of my first planting of cucumbers had died, and that there are lots of very happy weeds growing up 

under there too with all the crops! Thankfully I had more cucumber plants to replace the dead ones with 

and friends to pitch in and help with some weeding last weekend.
