15 May 2008All bolted Chinese Cabbage 'Bok Choy' Flowering and Vegetable gardenI don’t know if it was the cool, wet spring, or what, but every single plant bolted before it started forming nice big leaves.

19 Apr 2008Late frost? Vegetable gardenWeather man says late cold snap comin – snow, hail, frost. Put the old row cover over the veggies (not potatoes, can’t hurt them).
