It may only be February, but we'll soon be harvesting the spinach we overwintered. I planted spinach into November as an experiment to see if it would overwinter - it sure did. After a little rain and sun they took off! As you can see it is really muddy right now, so I can't really get into the field. As soon as it dries off - maybe midweek - we'll start supplying hungry Tulsans with their first spring greens. You'll find it first at Natural Farms!We only have one bed at this level of maturity, but there are three more beds that will come on two weeks later.

The spinach is in the front, and right behind it is two beds of turnips that also overwintered. The turnips are still at least two weeks out - but that isn't long!
During those two weeks I'll be at the farm mostly doing construction projects. Building a bedshaper sled, building a cooler, building a harvest wagon, etc. I love carpentry projects.
