A few things have sprouted from the 4/5 plantings: arugula is looking great and turnips are looking pretty good as well. I think some carrots have come up that I didn't label. Also, the lettuce and kale seedlings I transplanted are growing well (the spinach looks pathetic).
Today, I planted the following from peas (starts! I think the squirrels have been eating all of my attempts to plant seeds). Also, I planted the following from seeds:
carrots -- atomic red (nichols garden nursery)
spinach -- marimba - hybrid (nichols)
parsley -- giant italian (nichols)
runner beans -- painted lady -- saved from last year!
zinnia -- persian carpet (botanical interests) -- i sprinkled some seeds on the green pot with a dahlia in the middle
lettuce -- mesculin mix
peas again -- oregon sugar bod 2 (nichols)
corn salad/mache - large seeded dutch (nichols)
summer squash -- cocozelle - looks like zuchinni (botanical interests)
more turnips -- purple top white globe (nichols)
swiss chard -- magenta sunset (territorial seed co.)
i also planted some dahlias up front (very excited) and i used compost and ACTUAL FERTILIZER this year so maybe they won't die before they even come out of the ground.
dahlia -- grand prix (vanbloem gardens) - these have giant yellow flowers with white tips. i planted them both up front and i'm really hoping they come up.
dahlia -- purple diamond (vanbloem gardens) - these are smally pink ones that are supposed to be good for containers. i planted them in pots by the side door.
