Our rhubarb and greenhouse spinach are bolting, and although that signals an end to the spring harvest, we will prolong it a little longer because we haven't quite had our fill of rhubarb yet. Transplants that we carefully tended in the indoor growroom have been getting ready for the harsh spring environment, with a couple of casualties, and we talk about the hows and why's of a hardening off period. Finally, the weeds are growing faster in many cases than the crops we are trying to grow, and it can be frustrating. From annual weeds to invasive perennials, we talk about strategies for weeding as well as not getting discouraged (or worse, ignoring them).
