Today I planted some mache and spinach out in the front yard. The spinach I tried to start inside never sprouted -- I think it was too hot for it. The indoor sprouts are doing great. I have Blue kale, Swiss chard, Rapini broccoli (Broccolini), Sylvetta arugula, and bok choy all growing inside under some fluorescent lights. I also started some Red Russian kale and chives the other day as well but they haven't sprouted yet. I need to start getting the young plants outside somehow. Hardening off is often a pain, and especially right now becasue the hoophouse still isn't getting enough sun to put them in there. Also I have to work on the hoophouse to keep the dogs out or else I'll just get frustrated when Twist digs up my new seedlings.
