First and foremost are the baby seedlings that have sprouted in spite of some torrential rains we have seen here in the Mid-Atlantic region. The next few days are forecast to be sunny skies with temps in the high 70's, so these seedlings should really start taking off...
Next are the crops that Wintered over, thanks in large part to the heavy cover of snow we had for most of the cold season. Much of what I seeded in the Fall died off due to an early hard frost in late November, but the plants that survived did quite nicely under the deep insulating blanket of snow that lasted from early January through early March. When the last of the snow finally melted it was a pleasure to find Spring greens already growing vigorously.
Arugula...
Mache (Corn Salad)...
Turnips...
And finally, I always buy a flat or two of cold crop seedlings from my local garden supply so I can get a head start on fresh greens while waiting for my own seedlings to mature.
Chinese Cabbage...
Collard Greens...
Mustard Greens...
