Tonight I raked out a row for Broccoli Rabe, its an Italian heirloom variety from Renee's seeds called 'Cima di Rapa' and sounds delicious! Its a great cool season grower so its planted where tomatoes will be and we'll harvest it all and remove it some time after the tomatoes are planted.
The onion mound is getting onion sets tomorrow morning of a flat yellow onion and Super Sweet. I have two big bags of sets and they just need to be plugged into the raised berm. Photos to follow when its light out lol.
3.12 update: Onion sets are in, as well as finishing off the row with Crimson Forest Bunching onion seed. The Broccoli Rabe row was finished off with Lacinato Italian heirloom Kale aka "Dinasaur Kale" which is a sweet full flavored green to steam, saute, braise or use in hearty soups, and English Watercress which is a crunchy zesty salad green that is high in Vitamin A.
I checked under the cover again on the celery and they look fantastic. Our forecast of 27 never came about last night and it bottomed out at 34, tonight should be colder but hopefully not the 23 originally forecast which has been revised higher.
3.13 update, temperature bottomed out at 30 last night a long way from the 23 forecasted. I didn't look at the celery but I'd bet it looks perfect.

Mother Nature was kind to us. Let's hope she remains so.
