We have about 140 lettuces thriving right now. We have romaine, red leaf, and iceberg varieties. I have already done a taste test on some of the baby leaves and they are delicous. The super salad eating extravaganza will hopefully start in early November!
We are also noticing that Pac Choi, a type of Chinese cabbage that I did not know much about earlier this year, are amazing plants. With almost 100% germination rate and transplant growth, we are expecting about 60 fully grown Pac Choi in late October.
Our sugar snap peas, carrots, beets, and broccoli are also looking great. Unfortunately, we had some transplant casualities in the cauliflower and cabbage rows. I think I may have been too rough with some of the delicate transplant roots when planting, but I am not sure. It is really curious when you use the exact same method, dirt, and amount of water on each plant and some thrive while others shrivel up and don't make it. I can't figure it out yet. My mother told me that I planted in the wrong astrological sign. :)
Check out the pictures of the beautiful growth at our farm.
