Surviving the storm - Week 5

Its been rough, raining, pouring, and well, lets face it, the old man is snoring. I was really worried about losing a lot of the direct seedlings with such heavy rain so early in the season. Although some have washed away, and some were literally pound into the ground, the rest have survived and are thriving, which is great so early in the season. These pictures were taken today, which means that we have finally caught up.

Broccoli, that came out more like broccolinni

Here is some fennel that I just transplanted to the ground from a pot that I started in October. It finally took off, I had it in the wrong soil this whole time. It has doubled in size every week for 4 weeks.
