These looked about ready for transplant, and I figured a nice hot weekend was just the ticket! I seeded 9 per (but not all were productive) of: broccoli rabe, micro-greens salad mix, beets, leeks and arugula. Transplanted 2/3 in the community garden, the rest in the backyard garden - a little experiment to see which do better where. We'll see!

How did they do? Mine did not like the heat at all!!!
ReplyDeleteI swung by and watered them yesterday evening, and they were looking ok - my plot is partially shaded during the early/late hours, so they got a bit of a break. I need to water them again tonight, because today is hot enough to make ME wilt, so I'm sure they'll need it!
ReplyDeleteCovering could spare yours, if the cover is just a sunblock and does not go down to the ground and trap heat in... want the bamboo hoops sooner rather than later? some tarp/visqueen to provide shade might work, although I think the brutal days are now behind us and the 'real' SF weather will kick in soon.
