Peas went in on 3/28 and I've continued to sow lettuces and radishes from then until last week. This is in the N. GA. garden. I've not grown spinach in a few years 'cause it's a pain to clean and has a such a short season before it bolts. I replaced it with chard which lasts all summer. We also grow kale, collards and mustard. Mustards grow very quickly and can start being harvested about three weeks after planting. I have three kinds of beets and they also went in on 3/28. We are able to harvest beet greens when we thin, beets well into summer and snow or snap peas through mid-June. FYI, young vines under 6" can be pulled when you thin and used for soups or steamed. They are delicious and taste just like the peas! You'll see them in the Asian markets here in Atlanta.
