1. With 8 beds of Lettuce planted early in the first days of a new moon and a cold night last night bringing a gentle freeze, we're hoping to have lots of fresh organic greens by the end of February! In fact, if our present beds produce at anything like the one bed we had last year, we'll have a great deal of greens to share with our family members and friends!!! This is an inspiring thought! Of course, prior to distributing the seed, we turned the top 12" of soil with a D-handled fork, and added-in a small amount of worm castings and peat moss left over from last Spring. Given the very thorough "double-digging" work we've done in the past year, turning the soil was soooooooooooooooooooo easy! After spreading the seed by hand across the rows, we very lightly watered each bed, to keep each seed gently anchored in the beds (and thus protected from the wind and from blowing away).
