This year, I'm going to start next Saturday (May 17), which is our third market day. I won't have much, going this early for what's growing here is a stretch, the first field-planted crops are usually mesclun and radishes, I wouldn't go in with just radishes, and mesclun has never been ready before the very end of May. So I'll take what I can from the greenhouse, maybe 15-20 bags of mesclun, plus arugula, chives, Jerusalem artichoke...10-20 units of each.</p> <p><strong>Cathy: </strong>That sounds great! Clearly, we're a lot tinier than you are! :)</p> Julie: Here’s a pic of first market day 2006, just lettuce. This year, I’m going to start next Saturday (May 17), which is our third market day.

Maybe with some sun they will take off. Julie     Mike,
