Plants!

We've been busy on the garden, and just busy in general, so here is an update.

We built the square foot divider for each of the three 4x4 beds. We used some 1x2 strapping and tacked it in place with some nails.

Here is the galvanized metal tub we've used for an additional planting bed. We placed two broccoli plants and strawberry plant that we bought from Home Depot already started. Next year it will just be for the strawberry plant.

We transplanted the radishes that were started inside. Since SFG says you can plant 16 radishes per square we planted some seeds as well. Radishes seem to grow like wildfire, the seeds came up in about 4 days.

Here are two more of the broccoli plants. The tray we bought had nine total, and since we have the spare space for now we planted a total of 6. We also got the peas planted after soaking the seeds in water for the day. So far, after a week the peas haven't come up yet.

Our mixed lettuce greens seeds went in and came up in about 4 days. The romaine lettuce went in at the same time, but like the peas, we have no sign of sprouts yet.
