July 21

Before everything else, new garden times for this semester are:

Mondays 10-12pm and Thursdays 1-3pm!

Here's some pictures from this week. It features our very own Amy Cheng and our growing green veggies. I've decided to put just one picture to do with our turnips for this week...

Bitter but big chinese cabbages,
and we speculate Amy's experiment worked, the shaded one is sweeter.

Partners for life, but to be separated and consumed soon

bok-choys

more pea flowers (we've found a couple of pods already!)

Amy carousing the parsnips to life

Amy watering the herb spiral with some rainwater collected over the week!

transplanting some spinach seedlings

Amy harvesting a bok-choy before the rabbits finish the job for us (note the bites)

Amy picking out some leaves from our unknown oriental veggie:
any clue on what it is, anyone?

Amy gets to roast one tonight

Hope to hear from you all soon.

We've got heaps of things planned for this semester for the garden that's sure to breathe new life and raise the excitement bar for all of you keen organic aficionados out there! Will tell you all about it soon.

This is a late response but I think your unknown chinese veggie is "mibuma" (not to be confused with "mizuna", which has serrated leaves and is also delicious). Yours is a particularly large and luxuriant one :)
