  • Beatin' the Bolt

    From Snag@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 24 13:28:04 2024
    In the past I've always had problems with lettuce/spinach/bok choi
    bolting way too soon . So this year I decided to plant them a lot
    earlier than I have in the past . The envelopes say "as soon as the soil
    is workable" so ... today I planted lettuce , spinach , bok choi , and
    beets . Last frost date is about 6-7 weeks out , we'll see how this works .

    times you may be ok where you are at.

    I've done a lot of tree removal work to get full sun at least most of
    the day ... and I might take out a couple more trees this year . At
    least the trees are oak and make good firewood .
