Scenes from the garden - 4/26/14


Raindrops on the Red Russian Kale.

It's been a cool and rainy day here in New England. I couldn't work in the garden today so I went outside with the camera and snapped a few photos of the raindrops that I though looked interesting on the Kale and Lettuce plants.

Red Russian Kale, planted last fall.


Yesterday I moved the cold frame off the kale, lettuce, onions and garlic, now that the night-time temps have been staying above freezing.
I also transplanted some of the extra Kale seedlings that were started on 4/6 into the garden.

Blue Curled Scotch Kale seedling.
 The greens I planted last fall really seem to be loving the cool spring temperature.

Greens, Ruby Streaks
Greens, Mustard Red Giant
These greens have add a nice spicy punch to salads.
I am thinking about letting some of them go to seed so I can save them for next year!




The color in the leaves, highlighted by the raindrops, is making my mouth water for a fresh picked crispy salad!
