I battle vetch around my garden also, thankfully not in my veggie beds, yet. Webb's Wonderful does indeed look wonderful! Nice haul of veggies this week.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-66222703575121737052016-06-27T21:36:19.256-04:002016-06-27T21:36:19.256-04:00That's a lovely pea flower and your Webb's...That's a lovely pea flower and your Webb's lettuce is awfully pretty. I've never been talented at growing head lettuce- they always bolt on me. I've never heard of Spigariello liscia, does it do better in warm weather than kale? I'm always on the lookout for heat tolerant greens.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193278804750154921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-84010368715859917892016-06-27T19:21:06.291-04:002016-06-27T19:21:06.291-04:00Really great kohlrabi, I'm envious for sure.

And I hadn't noticed before, but you are right about the scapes - my smaller sized Red Russian are much smaller in the stem but the scapes seem to be similar in size to the larger Porcelain varieties.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-23710441154257063152016-06-27T19:18:06.233-04:002016-06-27T19:18:06.233-04:00Oof, my yard is full of vetch, nasty stuff it is! ...Oof, my yard is full of vetch, nasty stuff it is!

In the Spring when I prep the beds, I like to fluff up the soil and run my fingers through to feel for the rhizomes. I get a lot of wire worms and grubs that way as a bonus.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-59321230713537302022016-06-27T12:38:49.660-04:002016-06-27T12:38:49.660-04:00I like your attitude towards growing broccoli!

A lovely section of kale you are growing - I'm quite impressed with Red Ursa too. Surprisingly, I haven't grown the very popular Cavalo Nero yet, but I'm sure it will be added to the mix at some point.<br /><br />That is a great idea to plant the extra onion seedlings for use as green onions - I always end up with more seedlings than I need. So obvious, but I had never thought of that! Oh, and that last comment about you being an expert at growing broccoli leaves made me laugh!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-53331611596725232382016-06-27T10:05:43.265-04:002016-06-27T10:05:43.265-04:00You've sure got lots of goodies coming in from...You've sure got lots of goodies coming in from the garden. That crisphead lettuce is a beauty. My lettuce will likely be done by the time I have tomatoes to go with it. I'm growing the Spigariello liscia too but I haven't cut any leaves yet. I think it is pretty enough to grow for an ornamental. That looks like vetch blooming in the one photo. We had some come in with the mulch and it has proven to be a tough weed when it's in the wrong places. And I'm always behind with weeding so you will never hear me talk about anyone's weeds!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-60181264947368802792016-06-27T07:47:40.990-04:002016-06-27T07:47:40.990-04:00You're getting tons of good food from your gar...You're getting tons of good food from your garden.
