Edible Garden Straw Bale Garden

Inside the Greenhouse

The bale in the middle is the first straw bale into which I planted seeds directly, about 10 days ago. There are cabbage and vit (corn salad or mâche) on this bale. They sprouted alright, and I can see first sets of true leaves showing up on the cabbages.

I really enjoy mâche. It’s tender and flavorful: nutty. I had never seen mâche in the stores here, but had loved it when I lived in Europe. It is called “Feldsalat” in German. Here is a link with more info on mâche.
I like mâche dressed with walnut oil, lemon juice, finely minced shallots, and toasted walnuts.

Newcomers – 10 day old seedlings

I moved these very young seedlings from the house into the greenhouse yesterday. It’s only 10 days after seeding. We’ll see how this goes.
Here we have a bunch of cabbage:
Cuore di Bue and Golden Acre, as well as a couple of Oregon Spring tomatoes.
