Under Wraps

Labyrinth Location: 2nd border arc, 12 o'clock
Vegetable: Broccoli and Cauliflower
Seed/Transplant Date: When did I set these out? I think it was around June 5th.
Soil Preparation: Variable. Mostly just tilled up lawn. I don't think I even added any manure to this part.

While I was cleaning up under the row cover yesterday, I dug a lot of grass out from around the broccoli and cauliflower. The soil smelled so nice and rich - I don't know if that means it's healthy, or if the decaying lawn residue might be stealing nitrogen at this point. But I did notice that there was a wonderful warm moist microclimate under that row cover.

Mom grew these transplants for me - aren't they lovely? This one is just starting to form some florets.
