turnips, beets, and sundries

took a stroll over to the garden this evening between viewing some senior thesis art exhibitions and visiting the coach just o see what was up...and stuff was up..the top photo proves there are turnips in the garden and the second one proves there is an entire row up and running...the green leaves and red stems in the next two photos attest to beets popping up...there will need to be some thinning soon enough...the garlic still looks robust ( fifth photo ) and we have some fairly lush stands of winter rye ( sixth photo ) that will be turned in around three weeks before planting day to put more organic matter into the beds...the "unofficial" season has started...the "official" one will be here soon enough.
