Cabbage is back -- 2/17 Garden Update

I haven't given a garden update this month yet, mostly because the it's been raining really hard for the last week. The weather this week feels like spring has finally arrived though; the forecast predicts a few days above 70 this week. I only think this is going to happen because of the cloud cover. Because of this though, nighttime temperatures are predicted to be in the 40s. Let's go through the garden.

Aren't they so cute?

Downstairs, the hydroponic bok choy are starting to grow. Although still small, the weather conditions are ideal for them to grow rapidly. I expect them to be done growing in the next 4 weeks.

Overview

I have harvested a lot of lettuce from both this downstairs planting along with the plants upstairs. I've used it for many dishes, from burgers to eating it raw. Very delicious. My lone strawberry plant now has many more flowers.

I don't want to pay $3.50 for a basket of strawberries at the farmer's market.

Moving upstairs, because of all the rain, I haven't needed to water too often. That might change this week as the temperatures.

My cabbage is growing much larger (and more photogenic). A few are starting to head up.

The cilantro forest is out of control... and so is the lettuce. I think my orphaned garlic are growing bigger too.

That cilantro grows so fast

My other cabbage has many little heads all forming at the base. It still looks like an alien in my opinion.

I'm scared of what's going to grow from this plant next.

The lettuce, chard, and kale are all grown back from when I harvested them earlier this month.

That kale plant is monstrous

Most of the seeds I planted in the trellis bin have germinated. I'm glad those pea seeds are still viable after a year and a half.

Yay peas!

That's it for this week. I'll update again once these peas get taller.
