Crop circle


I planted out some 'crop circles' with lettuces in the front bed. They're a mix of Red Sails Lettuce, Bok Choy, Kale, Batavian endive and romaine. More lettuces are started in flats to set out as we harvest these.


The cold frame has done its duty, although the weather warmed up much more quickly than expected this year. When we went to Florida we lost our early tomatoes and all the peppers to a blight of some sort so I set them out in the coldframe to see if any would pull through. The Rutgers tomatoes appear to have recovered fairly well. In the back, we didn't get to the broccoli raab this week, too busy with finals, and they flowered. Still tasty though.


Some Batavian endive that didn't make it to the community garden. I'm hoping to braise these with the recipe from my new cookbook.
