One of my core beliefs to is say f*ck conventional wisdom and trust my own gut, beliefs, and experience. So in light of that - I'm already more than a week behind last year.
Ok - so this winter was a motherf*cker. But I'm looking at a week of straight 50s with some 60s action (and even a bloody flirtation with 70 this Saturday). Night-time temps are going to be low 40s - and tonight's will be 38.
So with the hoop-house frame designed by my friend and neighbor Jack over top of one of my salad tables, and plastic sheeting over top of that, my first salad table should be warm and moist by day, and should sleep soundly and well protected at night.
Into the first - some good hardy stuff that we LOVE to eat...arugula (aka rocket, both wild and domesticated), lacinato (aka dinosaur) kale, and a mix of endives and escaroles. Everything organic. Everything edible.
Mmmmmmm.
Let's see how the actualities align with my own gut, wisdom, and experience. Last year, we were eating greens by the end of April. I'm guessing this year it will be no later than May 1st!!!
