other garden news

wandering the garden after th ebed was in i find a fair sized jerusalem artichoke ( top photo ) that will surely reach a foot in height by june...the stand of clover ( second photo ) in that bed looks robust...but there is a rouge there that needs culling..the spuds there are looking fine as well...but there are rouges in the background that have to go...the collards in the fourth photo have grown a bit but still not quite big enough to begin thinning...the spinach in the fifth photo is almost ready to start harvesting and the turnips in the last photo could add to a salad as well...there will be more...planting day is next thursday...stay tuned.
