12 April, 2016

Weather is off and on. We still have some snow here and there and it is still quite windy. The temperature is not too bad but the wind does bite so not pleasant to be outside for very long. Wanted to get into the garden to do some work but better weather in the forecast so will wait for another day.

The leek variety that I am growing this year, "Large Musselburg", is doing extremely well. They are close to 10" - 12" high and now thicker than a piece of spaghetti. I have begun to harden them off.

The tomatoes are also doing well and took all the transplanting with no checks.

Started a 4" pot of Kale and only one seed germinated. Will start more.

Started several 4" pots of 3 varieties of beets. All have germinated well. I am now going to start to put them outside daily. I want them hardened off so when I prick them out, they will go directly into the garden rather than into pots.
