I have had some time to reflect since the last time we spoke, and i have come to a conclusion. Although the snow slowed us down some, we actually didn't get behind too bad. now is the time to plant some of our crops for a second time, and after checking some dates from last year, we were only a few days behind on our Greenhouse tomatoes. There was a point last season when we had planted some things too close together and our succession was not as fluid, which can be just as bad as being late. So, you could say the snow kept us on track, somewhat.
The other thing that is funny about the snow is this: plants that are established LOVE IT!! Its hard to be too upset after a storm, because everything is just so GREEN!! One chore we knocked off the list was cutting down all of the perennial growth on the asparagus plants so there is plenty of room and energy for those new shoots. And believe it or not, its already coming up!
Right: Then I ate it.
So as plants are popping out of the ground, rabbits are nibbling them the next day, and weeds get bigger. But it is an exciting time of year, and i dont know about you America, but i am ready for another kick-ass season from the people who bring you everything from Japanese Salad Turnips to Winter Squash to Sweet potatoes (new this year!) to Chilepenos to Swiss Chard. Until next time, this is your host, the king, signing out.
