Week 6 – in the box

 

What’s In Your Box This Week
Winter Season — Week 6 — March 20, 2026

Here we are, end of the short 6 weeks of the winter season – lots of lettuces, and on we go. 

Cabbage, end of winter season Lettuces

Cabbage going to head in the background, last of the winter lettuce in the middle, cauliflower trying to decide what to be…

Winter season is always a thrill – you never know what will sneak in to eat what is meant for people. It looks like the setting out of snap traps and floating crop covers is having results, though. The expectation is that things will take off that need more light – things like weeds. There are a large number of happy pea plants outside that are hiding under floating crop covers as well.
