It rained almost all day yesterday and it was supposed to rain today, but it never materialized. The garden was really too wet to do much digging, like for transplanting tomatoes and such, but I did take a moment today to sow a few more seeds, mostly in raised beds or at least in the drier ground. The picture today is of my little patch of pak choy which I will use in a stir fry later in the week-you can see some lettuce and broccoli planted nearby, too. I planted radishes in about 4 places, even under the irises near my frog pond. I replanted the chard, filling the gaps where there was sparse germination. I had a spot in the top of my strawberry bed that was bare-I apparently planted a crown too deep or something, so that little bare spot got some lettuce(Salad Bowl variety). I also added New Zealand Spinach to my Bloomsdale spinach patch. I have all kinds of stuff growing there. It has a couple of broccoli plants, some lettuce, some radishes and now some peas. The leeks are only a foot or so separate, so you might as well call that grown together, too. Since it is good soil right near the fence, I reseeded some snow peas in the spinach patch on the fence line and in a few other places here and there. I'm gambling that I can get snow peas off the vines before we fix the chicken moat in that area. These peas are on the moat fence, and once the birds can access that area, I won't get any peas...lol. I also found another pack of broomcorn so I planted that near the chicken moat as well. Fun, fun. Oh, and I tossed a few cotton seeds in some corners. I love cotton-beautiful plant(and please, no boll weevil lectures).
