Greens Growing Great

The oriental greens and radishes I planted in a half wine barrel with the umbrella greenhouse are ready to eat.  This photo was actually taken March 23.  The greens were starting to bolt so I had to take the greenhouse off and leave them to sweeten up in the cool air. Now they are ready and deliciously spicy!

Radishlings on Toast and Egg

My radishes are growing so well under the umbrella greenhouses that I started thinning them this morning.  Not one to throw away fresh greens, I topped my breakfast with the culled radishlings.  With all the pepper in me now, I think I’ll go do some gardening!

I Can Almost Taste The Spring Salad

I think I’ll have a great crop of radishes in a few weeks with this warm sunny weather we have been having and my wonderful umbrella greenhouses.  I planted these just a few weeks ago and I already have to thin my seedlings. 

 

The lettuce and peas I’m growing under the other greenhouses are also doing really well.  I can’t wait for spring salad season!

Super Sow Sunday: Umbrella Greenhouses

Outdoors I’ve sown lettuce, radishes and peas in wine barrels.  These great clear umbrellas make great pop up greenhouses!
