Last year Paxatawny Phil and I disagreed. I was right. This year we agreed. Neither one of us saw his shadow. Sir Walter Wally, in Raleigh NC saw his shadow and went back in his hole. It may be wishful thinking, but I feel spring in my blood. Good Friday is not until April 22 this year so that would call for a late spring.
Almost everything in the greenhouse has germinated. Even a few of the ghost peppers and cherry peppers have come up. The new greens that were planted under plastic have come up as well. They are mighty tiny, but they should grow fast. The spinach has been fairly productive and the mesclun is almost ready to pick again. It has not been harvested since the hard freeze.
If the weather is not too un-cooperative, another bed will be covered with plastic this weekend and collards, kale and onions will go into the ground. The bed for the greens did not quite collapse with the rain, but it is damaged and will require repairs. It should have been opened up yesterday.
