Last post, I talked about the seedlings, some of which were added to the outside raised beds. But there are a few crops already planted and growing well. At the very end of February I planted butter crunch lettuce, and this is what it looks like after 5 weeks of growing:
There are a couple of the new arugula transplants at the bottom right.
According to the planting information, the lettuce will be ready in 60 days, which would put it at the end of April. Realistically, I could begin harvesting individual outer leaves in about 2 weeks.
The Kale and Chard are at about the same place, having been planted a couple days later:

| Transplant March 5 |
And the Napa cabbage trailed by about a week so it will be ready in early May.

| Growing for 30 days - April 4 |
I harvested a few of the outside leaves this evening for some greens to stuff my gyros. Perfectly sweet and tender.
