About three weeks ago we planted spinach and some bush peas directly into the ground out at the garden. They’re coming up well now and I hope to get some pics up of the freshly double-dug and planted beds. We also installed a 5 ft trellis in the adjacent bed, double-dug it and planted the whole bed in vine peas. We didn’t add compost to these beds yet because peas are legumes which fix thier own atmospheric nitrogen through a sybiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. To improve yields the peas were sprinked with an innoculent of nitrogen fixing microbes.
I also want to share with you all some recent developments at my apartment.
These are the first planted seed flats.
Flat I has: regular tomatoes: Black Krim, Marmande Super, Big Rainbow, Evergreen, Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Moneymaker and Striped Germans.
cabbage and cauliflower, all on 1” spacings.
Flat II has leaf lettuce mix and buttercrunch head lettuce broadcast planted.
The cups are some veggies I started 3 weeks ago for my very urban container-garden I have in the works for the summer. The cells are a mix of the lettuces I started 3 weeks ago which I’ll probably harden off and plant this or next week.
The next planting will be this weekend, hopefully I’ll get some more pics of the garden by then.
