Red Chioggia Beets. Sowed outdoors, May 15, 2009. Still small sprouts. 

Kale sowed outdoors on May 8, 2009. Finally starting to take off!

Garlic is still much smaller than down in Boulder.  This garlic was planted last fall and sprouted in very early spring this year well before the last frost.  Early season was dry so I gave it plenty of water.  It is mulched and the last month has been very wet so I haven't supplemented watering.  

Rhubarb came up again this year.  It is about 1/3 the size of rhubarb growing down in Boulder but it's looking healthy.  This is the 2nd full season for this rhubarb patch.  It sent up a flower this year which I cut off to encourage growth in the edible parts.  

Don't forget, rhubarb leaves are poisonous and should never be eaten.  I have heard they can be concocted into a natural pesticide, but i have not tried this yet.
