garden update

I thinned beets today.
I started replacing straw mulch on some of the beds- a very light layer, not even a half inch thick- will add more when the plants are bigger. Around the collard greens
and tokyo bekana
and chard.
I have a lot more peas now-
though still all mostly on one side (the left of the 'L' bottom edge- top half of this bed, viewed from the deck, is tatsoi and lettuces).
I didn't put any around the turnips- they still seem too small
some are rather close together but perhaps I will eat them young.

Two bunches of leeks are in the middle of the turnips. Came up on their own.
And a surprise in the greenhouse- on a whim I had stuck that sprouting almond in a pot, weeks ago. I'ts now growing leaves!
