The first of April is here, and already my garden at the park is full to overflowing. It will be a challenge to be able to find room for the warm weather veggies. Though in another month, a lot of the cold weather veggies will have had their day, and be ready to be pulled.

| Cold frames open, 4/1/2012 |
 |
| Arugula frame |
 |
| Assorted lettuce and tatsoi |
This cold frame has various lettuce plants that need a good picking. The cell packs at the bottom have most likely been cut down by slugs. The pack at the top with the single leaf was a five pack of purchased kohlrabi starts. I was going to put them in the ground today, but the voles left just this one leaf out of the two packs of five that I had. The voles are becoming public enemy number one. The packs along the top are leeks, obviously not a favorite of the voles. Maybe this garden should be all onions, garlic, and leeks.
