Planting It!

Today is Day 5 after planting. On Wednesday, the crops were planted in my autumn garden. The upright sticks mark the rows of planted seeds. Why two rows in one? 'Cause I love green onions. Bring 'em on!



Leaf lettuce was the only one that specified a need for some direct sun, so it's planted at the north end. See the light? Spinach is next to it in the 'inner north', then green onions in the 'inner south' plot and the Chioggia beets in the southern most plot.

Here's a pic of Chioggia beets. Pretty, huh? They are Italian in origin:




I used some plugs of grass from allotted gardening plot to transplant into thin or--like below--barren patches of lawn. Looks like they are surviving and may fill in nicely.



More will be revealed as the crops sprout over the next few days. Spinach may be the first to peek up into the world. I'll keep you posted.
