Bolting Spinach

The weather has been so warm that my spinach has started to bolt.  How crazy is that!?  Things are looking quite good in the garden and my plans for pulling peppers, zinnias, and what not have been thwarted by their continued productivity.  In fact, there are new sunflowers sprouting from seed dropped out of this year's sunflowers.  Even the strawberries are getting bigger, and juicier and sweeter.

So much for starting cold frames.

I'm not complaining, just explaining.  Our spring bulbs arrived so we will be doing a massive planting over the next week.  There are something like 700 bulbs.  It should provide for a very colorful spring.

The raspberries are doing well as are the greens on the hill.  I am going to finally plant those 30 day cabbages this week.  We are also going to start some salad boxes to do some indoor experiments and of course great eats if we are successful.
