| Our Curly Purple Kale |
South Carolina is an agricultural state. I feel badly for the neighboring farmer.m It's been a long, cold, wet winter.

| Kale farm field |
Many of their winter crops like kale and cabbage are struggling to survive in muddy fields.
 |
| Our fennel, red mustard, and ornamental cabbage. |
Virtually all of our winter ornamental are planted in raised pots so we have not had to worry about drainage, but the constant warming and cooling is a different matter. The poor plants don't know how to respond. Our Curly Kale had to be harvested as it was trying to bolt to seed. The ornamental cabbages on the other hand don't know whether they should bud or not. And the fennel and Red Mustard thinks it is May. At least they are all healthy.
