This week (and last week), the weather is hard at play on its familiar swing. Even though Spring is officially two weeks away, the weather is already confounding us with its shifts from rainy days to sunny days and freezing mornings to balmy afternoons. Chubeza’s field has already been planted with a bevy of spring and summer seedlings, the first of which being the pumpkin family members: melons, zucchini, pumpkin, butternut squash and acorn squash. This week, they were joined by peppers and New Zealand spinach, the greens best fit to thrive in summer. The spring onion has been planted and is beginning to sprout. Simultaneous to the spring planting, we sowed the last of the carrot and parsley roots. And, of course, the field is still brimming with primarily winter veggies which are really enjoying the cool afternoons and mornings as well as the hot afternoon sun.
One of the vegetables that marked the beginning of autumn and will stay with us until late spring is the red sweet beuitiful beet. A veggie you can definately say is adding color and taste to life. This week he got the stage:
