Something is eating holes in the cabbages, and left us some evidence. We don’t know (yet) what it is or what to do about it.

Peas are up!
These peas were planted April 23, 2011, and are poking out of the ground 7 days later.
Willy Freed!
Introducing Willy, the Philosopher’s Stone, freed at last
Willy breeches…
Willy, freed…
Willy is a huge chunk of granite that surfaced in bed #1. The obsessive-compulsive gardeners wouldn’t leave it be to stifle anyone’s roots, so spent half the day digging and levering it out of the hole, moving it to a place of honor where it will provide a comfortable place of rest for the weary philosopher-gardener.
You know that spring has arrived in Arlington…
…when the Mountain of Mulch appears at Lalicata Landscape. Guy and Bobby have again donated a truckload of compost to get our garden started right.
Season 2011 – Opening Day!
April 9 was opening day for the 2011 season. (Opening was scheduled for April 2, but we got fooled by the April 1 snow.) We measured out the enlarged garden, planted 11 fence posts, and staked out the main paths through the center. Next week we plan to put up the fence, rototill, and start playing in the dirt…if it doesn’t snow again.
Second-Season Cabbage
Saturday we harvested the second-season cabbage, started about two months ago. The heads were small, but there were heads! It was a bit of a gamble to try, but the extra motivation was to use the space to show visiting children what cabbage looked like. The small cabbage could have used a few more weeks to grow larger, but we had committed to returning the Garden back to the Park by November 1st this Pilot year, and so Saturday we harvested everything.
