There's Cauliflower and then there's Cauliflower

See the difference between the greenhouse cauliflower and the seeded plants we began indoors on February 24th. Who knows, maybe we'll get two separate harvest times. That would be nice.

The top plant we seeded, and the bottom one we purchased from the nursery. What a difference!
Tiny broccoli heads are appearing everywhere. They're about 3/4 of an inch around.

Last year's new raspberry plants are spreading like wildfire! Today Bel transplanted about 10 wandering shoots into a new row, while I worked in the vegetable garden. Between the berry plants we bought last month and the spreading plants of last year, we now have about 60 or 70 feet.  In the garden I added a new row of leeks interspersed with beet seeds. The tomatoes will have to wait until Monday. The onions that were unhappy as indoor seedlings are thriving in the garden, and the shallots and carrots that we direct seeded two weeks ago are beginning to appear now.  We're so happy to see them! We thought the storms had washed them away.
