Here are more pictures I took to document the status of the garden mid March.....................


Fingerling Potatoes have taken off and are humming along.  Marcel and I are really excited about this since fingerlings are pricey in the store.  We got a few varieties, and I wish I remembered where I put the note that told me where I planted what (pretty sure I didn't toss it - so maybe it will turn up later).  This is Marcel's patch because I know zip about growing potatoes.



Here are the Collard Greens.  The heat will have them going to seed very soon.  I've already planted baby sweet peppers between them, so we don't lose any productivity.  If the sweet peppers get started too late, the summer heat will render them non-productive (blossoms can't tolerate the heat and drop).



Onion and garlic patch.  It was supposed to be Shallots too, but not a one came up in that row (makes me mad too because they are expensive).  The pushy things that look like weeds are volunteer Cilantro we didn't have the heart to pull up.  Cilantro loves my garden.



This picture doesn't look like much, but it's going to be a great "before" picture.  Here are the grapes Marcel planted.  I believe they are Thompson Seedless.  I have my doubts about them growing here, but Marcel feels confident.  Once they get going we'll trellis them.



The Cilantro is hanging in there.  This row was so productive this year.  I learned something.  Start Cilantro in the fall - and it will produce all winter long.  It's slowly going to seed, and I'm going to let it complete its cycle.  That means more volunteer Cilantro next year, but that's not really a bad thing.

Harvested these from the garden on Wednesday.  It's a mixture of Arugula, Sail Leaf Lettuce, Red Oak Lettuce, Mache (Corn Salad), Spinach, green leaf lettuce (and a few dried up leaves from nearby trees....). 
Got 1 1/2 gallon bags of it.  Some went down south with the Mister.
