Tonight's garden tour...

Page_1

Spent about an hour outside tonight.  Planted carrots, beets, shelling beans, Swiss chard and another batch of radishes.  Noticed that some of the cut-and-come again lettuce have sprouted.   Started hilling up the potatoes.  The potatoes will probably have to be checked every day now. The potatoes in the trash can seem to be a little slower, but they are coming along too. 

Also thinned the radishes that are growing in a washtub.  I'll be planting about 6 washtubs and two whiskey barrels with various vegetables.  Crops such as carrots and beets do better for me in containers. 

Vegetables are taking over the front garden too.  The cabbages are settling in quite nicely in the former primrose patch.  I also dug out a corner for winter squash.  Tomorrow I'm starting some scarlet runner beans for the front arbor.

It feels good to have so much happening in the garden.
