A crop of mixed lettuce and spinach

Posted By admin on December 29, 2009

I sowed a crop of mixed greens and spinach in my new raised bed back at the beginning of December. The raised bed includes uprights at each corner to help support a floating row cover, so important in winter. The row cover keeps the tender seedlings protected from drying winds and frost and keeps the gold crown sparrows from picking. I set out onions in the next bed over. They won’t need any special protection, only the long deep rains of winter to build strong roots and thick bulbs.
