cauliflowers and kohl rabi
The little cauliflower and kohl rabi plants are ready to go out.
Or more accurately, we are ready for them to go out!
This is the time of year when we have lots of seedlings growing in the greenhouse and we need space. So, after a little 'hardening off' our plants were put into their new home.
I watered the ground copiously before planting due to the exceptionally dry conditions. Then, a trowel hole dug, plants a trowel length apart and firmed in.
We finished them with a good helping of lime and eggshells that had been collected over the winter.
The final step was to provide protection with netting and hoops against the attentions of the famished rabbits.

Rob,
Reading your last few posts, I'm surprised, and sorry, that you've had such a cold, dry spring.
It's hard not only on the garden, but for wildlife, too, as you've noted.
Having just come out of a decade- long drought, I can relate to that (although not the cold).
How interesting to be planting cauliflower and kohlrabi now! Ours would be harvested by now, if I'd grown any, and certainly most of my cole crops are in their last stages (although in the mountains, the longer season means that I still have arugula, kale, and lettuces galor in late May.)
Hope you've gotten or will getting some rain soon.
Lisa
