I just picked a gallon and a half of sprouts. This is my third picking so far this spring. I quit covering them and they have endured several good freezes with no problems. Unlike broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage they can take weather a good bit colder. Some of the sprouts I am growing this year are looser than most years but they are really pumping them out. I may be tired of them earlier than usual this year; but the cold weather has made them taste better so maybe I won't. With all the cold weather we have had no caterpillars on any thing since fall. I keep expecting to see those white butterflies every time it warms up but before they can get going it freezes again.
I replanted lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage hoping that the spring plants will do better than the winter or fall plants did.
