The Planting Starts

Doesn't look like much. But I got about a third of the garden planted. The weather has be been cold and rainy so I have not been in a hurry to get seeds in the ground. So far four rows of early bi color "sweet chorus" corn. I have three more varieties of corn that will be planted at different times for a later harvest, one row of leaf lettuce a mixture of Cimmaron, Red salad, Tango, Slobolt, Green salad, and Royal oakleaf, one row of Olympia spinach which has a smooth leaf so it is easy to wash, one row of Chantenay carrots which are meant to be harvested as baby carrots, they will mature but are short, and fat, and one row of Lincoln peas. At top of the garden under the milk jugs are cucumbers, cantaloupe, and pumpkins. I have tomato's, zucchini squash, and yellow squash growing in the house. I hope to get them planted out in the ground this weekend. I still need a few Bell pepper plants. Looks like the weather is finally going to warm up. And gardening will be more exciting when everything starts to grow. :) AH
