"Baby It's Cold Outside..."

Yes, per the calendar it's officially Spring,  but if you were anywhere near the Harvest of Hope (HOH) Community Garden (or NE Tennessee) today, you may be saying

  " Baby it's cold outside! "

... but it's warm in here !

Today at the HOH Comm. Garden.

At our Garden Kickoff two weeks ago, gardeners planted broccoli, cabbage, onions, etc in raised beds.  This raised bed (see above two images) has a covering and boy what a difference planting inn raised beds and having a covering makes!

Check out how much this broccoli seedling has grown in two weeks.  The left image shows it about two weeks ago, at about 3 inches high.  The right image shows seedlings now at 5+ inches.  Wow!
