Easter Rising

As I have for the past 30 plus years, I celebrated Easter by planting in the garden.   This year's additions included beets (Red Ace), green onions and kale.  I planted the kale in close row spacing to try for baby kale, which is the hottest green on the market.  Of course, by my friendly neighborhood flea beetles will be checking out any sprouting brassicas as soon as they make an above ground appearance, so I covered the bed with reemay and will get out my organic fleabeetle spray in readiness to do battle.  I am seeing some sporadic germination of my first spinach planting and the garlic is above ground, so we may be late, but things are getting started outside.
