2023 Greens (end of season notes)

Arugula first planting came up well and bolted (as usual) in the heat, later plantings lasted through the end of the season, make sure bed gets regular fertilizer.
Bok Choy spring crop did well but new variety Shanghai bolted early (only grow in fall?); fall crop did well, look for place to transplant extra seedlings (lettuce bed?), make sure it gets enough fertilizer.
Lettuce was a mixed bag again, first 2 plantings from seedlings were perfect, early summer plantings had terrible germination (too hot?), later plantings produced decent heads (especially green star) in October; consider using board method to cover seed as done in the last plantings along with shade cloth.
Malabar Spinach did well on four corners of tomato structure, went all the way to the top!
Mustard both spring crops did well, fall crops didn’t germinate as well and weren’t given enough light and attention to thrive.
Perpetual Spinach had poor germination, plants not robust and hit by small dark-rimmed holes in leaves in late summer, did not recover, give better soil and fertilize more?
Shiso grew green and red in tomato bed (in place of a basil plant), was decorative and interesting, but not all that popular.
Spinach spring crop was only seeded indoors, did better without outdoor seeding, lost a few plants (not sure why), could plant 6 6-packs and plant rows closer, forgot insect cover with a sticky trap inside but no major damage, protect next year; fall crop failed though there was some initial germination and it was covered, probably needs to be started earlier and indoors to be viable.
Swiss Chard started strong, was well thinned, but not covered for leaf miner, had a reasonable mid-season, hit by small dark-rimmed holes in leaves in late summer, didn’t fully recover, fertilize more? One errant plant that survived from the previous year was exceptionally strong and productive.
Turkish Rocket (new crop) started from seed and planted 3 seedlings in herb bed, which grew but didn’t produce florets, no harvest this year, see what comes up next year.
