February
Harvest lettuce by snipping off outer leaves. The plant will continue to push new leaves from the center. This year I am growing classic Romaine and Crawford Romaine. I love the color in the Crawford variety. A friend of mine gave me some seeds a couple of years ago and since they are heirloom, I collect the seeds at the end of the season and plant them again the next fall.
Harvest broccoli, brussels sprouts and asparagus.
My broccolini has a bad case of aphids. I’ve pulled it out. I have had my fill of broccolini. Next year I will go back to Chinese broccoli.
Carrots are coming along, but it looks like there was a seed mix-up. These are not yet ready, but they do look like two different kinds of carrots.
What is blooming in February? Agarita, Arbequina olive, daffodils, hummingbird vine…Also loquat fruit is forming. I love February.
And now for the bad news. We have been working a lot lately. With a lot of extra time on his hands, the basset has gotten into a bit of trouble. That is no.
