record keeping

Feb 1

cole crops started (in compost)

Cabbage
  • Cour Di Bue (Baker Creek)
  • Nero Di Toscana/Black Palm/Tuscan Kale (BC)
Broccoli - Early Purple Sprouting (BC)

Purple Cauliflower
(tradewindsfruit)

Red Brussel Sprouts
(tradewindsfruit)

Purple Globe Artichoke
(BC)

Interim: the dirt froze in the greenhouse before anyone germinated. I was freaked out and worried that everyone was dead, but by the 5th the babies had poked their heads.

Feb 14

Artichokes are just now germinating but don't even have their heads above dirt.
Nero is starting to set true leaves. Cour Di Bue is growing but many are dampening off [higher light demand?]. Purple Cauliflower is growing but no true leaves. No sign of the BS. Very few weeds germinating in compost--but still should have sterilized it beforehand. Everyone is a little leggy because of being inside. Perking right up now that they're in the greenhouse for the warm snap.
