The Seasons Turn and We Begin Again

With a new Spring semester comes the new garden. This year for the first time, I've planted a cool-season garden. In a Southern California cool-season garden, we can grow those crops that would wither and die in the summer heat: lettuces and greens; and cruciferous vegies such as cauliflower, broccoli, and brussels sprouts, that would simply bolt and flower as soon as temperatures rise. Below, we have organic peppermint chard and rainbow chard, the 3 whole boxes of our micro-farm, Lolla Rosa organic red-leaf lettuce, and Red Russian Kale.
