Spring Awaits

We're about to end winter with very little rain and a lot of warm weather.  As a result, we've seen the cabbages survive a pretty intense aphid infestation without much damage and grow to five times their planting size.

The cauliflower on the other hand... dissapeared.  Literally.  We came back after a long weekend and they were gone, roots and all, lifted out of their beds by (we suspect) a well-meaning student work crew over the weekend.

We harvested a good amount of lettuce (saving about $1.00 per head by organic standards) and the pineapple sage is still standing.  

The next step is to sow our seeds and plan out for spring plantings.  The Capuchino sponsored Spring Days is in May and there has been some talk about growing food or flowers for the community and in recruiting volunteers for summer work.
