Somehow the arugula was left out of the fall planting. Someone somewhere mentioned arugula and I tried to remember if it had been planted. No, it hadn’t. It got planted yesterday. The rain is supposed to come today, so maybe it will be off to a fast start. The first of the scarlet globe, white tipped radishes were picked yesterday; but there are no salad greens to go with them. These are beautiful big radishes and they are not pithy at all.
The mesclun and spinach are coming up, but they are still too small to pick. We have had 3 messes of sallet greens and one mess was given away. They are tender and delicious. The stems were even tender enough to leave them in. We are saving the greens from the radishes to mix with the next batch.
The dry weather has really hampered the garden growth. The garden has needed watering every day. Rain is predicted for today and the sky is cloudy. I even heard thunder a little while ago. Pray for rain please.
