March 14: Clean Out and Transplant

A picture of the garden before cleaning it out and getting ready for the Spring garden...of course I didn't think about taking a photo until AFTER I'd already pulled out 2 cauliflower plants.

After Spring planting.  Doesn't look much different because the new plants are little.  (and some of the plants were already eaten by March 15 - fie!  I knew I should have waited on planting the peppers and eggplants - but I decided to plant them because I didn't want to have to worry about keeping plants in pots alive even though I have 3 peppers from last year saved and ready to be planted)  You'll also notice that I still have brassicas in the garden.  The broccoli is still producing side shoots, the purple cauliflower has a head that I'm waiting on.  The Brussels Sprouts haven't even really formed yet, and the garlic will stay in the garden until May or so....so really all I took out where the cauliflower plants I'd already harvested, the bolted lettuces and the stump of mustard greens.
