And sorry -- I forget to get back to you about the asparagus. Yes, we do have three very small plants, but I'm hoping to put in a big bed soon.fiona@fionacampbell.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455351263890165906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484860057974226820.post-17354859305193279172011-06-08T11:09:02.061-04:002011-06-08T11:09:02.061-04:00A couple of years ago I was friends with a couple ...A couple of years ago I was friends with a couple that made cold frames for the local Charter School.

Letting the greens go to seed is really my way of procrastinating!<br /><br />@Mr H -- thank you! My spinach crop last year was paltry, so I'm really pleased with this year's. The rest of the garden, well... it's moving a wee bit slower this year.<br /><br />@Erin -- thanks!

It really doesn't take hi-tech equipment to make good food grow even in our less than hospitable spring environment, does it? You done good, Girl! Wow again!<br /><br />P.S.
