Finally the weather has made a turn for the better. After news that this is the third wettest April in the history of Oregon we finally have a week of 60 plus weather to look forward to.Time to get going in the garden.
This morning at my Community Garden Plot I was able to sow Zinnia, Lemon Cucumber, Dill, Marshmallow, Lettuce and Squash.
News about the Broccoli that was over wintered. They are beginning to flower and turn to seed. I am not sure why. Is that normal?
More good news about my over wintered Cabbage. They have not recovered from the hungry pests in search of food this winter. Pests in the winter? Did not think that would be a problem.
The Cinnamon Lettuce, Rhubarb, Rainbow Chard, Stocks, Calendula and Money Plant Seeds that I planted two weeks ago are now up. The two varieties of Carrots are missing in action.
More positive news. There are tons of ladybugs in the garden.

All the cabbage family plants I grow that are planted by July 15 make it through the winter then go to seed the next year. I eat all the flower buds as long as I can keep up with them. I can't seem to get cabbages or cauliflowers to make heads, so Kale, Turnips, and Collards are my favorite cole crops. I just made my deadline of June 15, to finish planting my beans, now I have 2 weeks to try to plant out my seedling plants I've grown under lights this year, and try to deal with all the weeds. Happy vegetable gardening!
