Planting Cold Growing Greens and Root Crops. 2.11.22

Today I planted one of the new raised beds with various greens and root crops, including white radishes, red radishes, "corn salad" which is not corn at all, also called "Mâche" or lamb's lettuce and is a chill weather green, red stem Swiss chard, spinach,  and cilantro and Simpson lettuce from home-saved seeds. Some of these are old so I planted extra (white radishes and Bibb lettuce). This bed will be planted with tomatoes in mid to late May, so they have about 90 days to grow and produce.

The row markers are coppiced pussy willow poles, as with the peas yesterday. Mâche doesn't germinate if it's warmer than mid 60s, and today was 67F. I think there should be enough chill later. It's only early February right now.
