Mescalin Sprouts. Radish and Swiss Chard are No Shows so far

Mesclun Mix

Some of the mescalin mix seeds I planted in the front flower bed among the landscaping has started to sprout. We had several warm days to get it started, followed by three days of cool temperatures and rain. The Radish and the Swiss Chard I planted the same day have not come out for the party just yet.

Spring in South Carolina used to mean lots of rainy days but the last few years of drought have faded that memory. With luck, this rain will be just one in a series that replenishes the lakes and rivers, ultimately alleviating the drought.

Garden after a Late Winter Storm

We got caught in the late winter storm that blanketed the eastern US this weekend. After 2 days of rain, we received 4 inches of snow. The snow was pretty on the ground and in the trees. It is supposed to warm up considerably by the end of the week. Spring may be right around the corner! Use your imagination to see three more raised beds in this area full of beautiful veggies!
