April 1, 2012 in South Dakota. It was 90 degrees today. It should not be this warm at this time of year. At the very least a cold rain, or most probably a spring snowstorm. Nonetheless, I dug through my seeds and planted a row of spinach and also some lettuce. If it comes up and then it freezes again, which everyone thinks it is going to do, then I just lose a little seed. If not, then perhaps some spinach and lettuce in a few weeks for our table. We shall see. Keep tuned!! I have also been looking for kale seed and have not located any so far. I put in 4 kale plants last year, and that kept us in that good vegetable for a good many weeks, but the greenhouse I go to was closed for the weekend...too early yet, I know, for them to be open.
I harvested fresh asparagus from my garden, plants that I put out 2 years ago. It is too crowded, I did not separate the roots apparently, just plopped it in the ground. Don't know why I waited to long to start a patch in my garden. We have "ditch" asparagus in the fence line of a couple of our fields, but it is hard to find each year before the town asparagus hunters get to it. I also pulled a few stalks of rhubarb, cooked it for hubby, who likes to spread it over a slice of bread for a treat.
