2022 Greens (end of season notes)

Arugula first plantings came up well and bolted (as usual) in the heat, July and August plantings (as usual) lasted through the end of the season.
Bok Choy spring seeding did okay before bolting, fall crop germination was just barely enough for bed and could have been more robust (make sure it gets enough nitrogen).
Lettuce was a mixed bag again, first planting was perfect, second planting indoors was a week too late and had terrible germination (soil not sterilized?), summer plantings were better than most years, nematodes appeared in soil in late summer throttling the roots, late Aug & early Sep plantings had poor germination and needed transplanting to produce small heads by Nov.
Malabar Spinach did well in raised beds on entry arbor; went all the way to the top!
Mustard both spring crops did well, fall crop of green did better than red, seedlings were transplanted to even up the bed and did well through the end of the season.
Perpetual Spinach needed some transplanting to fill in bare spots, was well thinned and productive, hit by small dark-rimmed holes in leaves in late summer, recovered for good harvests through end of season.
Spinach spring crop seeded indoors did better than outdoor seeding (plan to start enough indoors for the full bed next spring), insect cover – with a sticky trap inside – worked super well; fall crop was mostly eaten by critters and was planted at least a few weeks too late, but could definitely work .
Swiss Chard started strong, was well thinned, not covered for leaf miner, had a productive mid-season, hit by small dark-rimmed holes in leaves in late summer, didn’t fully recover.
