Garden update

One week later, most plants have emerged in the square foot garden. I planted 2 small sage plants, a cabbage plug and an established pepper plant, but all the rest are from seeds. The black tepary beans came up overnight and are already getting big enough that we need to think about getting the trellis ready.

The little photo above is a nasturtium sprout, planted 4 seeds per sqaure foot. Below are beets at 16/sf with spinach (4/sf) in the square behind them.

For lack of something more suitable, I used plastic knives as labels for each sqaure.

List of plants in east box:
  • 4 nasturtiums
  • 1 sorrel
  • 16 beets
  • 4 lettuce (2 squares)
  • 16 carrots (2 squares)
  • 4 spinach
  • 4 marigold
  • 1 chard
  • 16 onions (2 squares)
  • 1 brocolli (2 squares)
  • 1 sage (2 squares)
