Week three and I don’t think I’ve killed anything yet (at least unintentionally). All plants are doing well and you can see how they’ve grown. We’ve had a ton of rain here this past week – as a matter of fact, Greg says that I did a great job of organizing the garden watering without actually doing any work!
The radishes and arugula are all lined up in their squares now and I actually thinned the arugula. It was really hard to only get one seed in each hole, so some had two or three plants growing. I pulled the smaller ones, leaving only one plant per space. Bonus was arugula micro greens for me to eat! First food out of the garden and we’re only three weeks in! The below is before the thinning.
Spouting so far:
Beets
Radish
Kale
Zinnia
Spinach
Brussels Sprouts
Nasturtium
Sunflowers
I’ve ordered 2 tomato towers from Square Foot Gardening ($39/ea) and they’ve arrived, but it was way too wet to put them up. Since the tomato plants aren’t much over the side of the raised bed, we’ll get them up next week. I hope mine wind up looking like this later in the summer!
