Before we went on vacation I had started quite a few seedlings in 4" pots, and I was so sure I had a great set up for them to survive while we were gone by putting them under the shade cloth and directly in place under the automatic sprinklers. The only thing I didn't count on was way too much rain while we were gone. Most of them drowned, but I was able to save a few of them. These are in Bed A4:
Before the drowning
- Cabbage, Drumhead
- Cabbage, Chirimen Haikasu
- Cabbage, Scarlette F1
- Broccoli, DiCicco
- Broccoli, Green Goliath
- Broccoli, Waltham
- Cauliflower, Candid Charm Hybrid
- Cauliflower, Orange Burst Hybrid
- Cauliflower, Erfurter
In Bed B1:
- Choy, Shanghai Green
- Choy, Toy
- Choy, Purple
- Choy, China Jade
- Choy, Canton Boy
- Bok Choi
- Peppers, Stocky Golden Roasters
Pretty little Violet Sparkle peppers
Bed B2:
- Pepper, Violet Sparkle
- Pepper, Jimmy Nardelo
- Pepper, Lipstick
- Pepper, Gypsy Hybrid
- Kale, Premier
- Kale, Chinese
- Kale, Casper
- Kale, Blue Scotch
In Bed B3:
- Onion, Awahia
- Onion, Tropeana Lunga
- Onion, Copper of Milan
Do you see the little green loop in the center -- that's a tiny onion coming up!
That takes care of the main garden area. Almost everything is starting to germinate and grow -- the rain is continuing and these plants love it.
The Squash House is planted with peas. Most of these I only had about 10 seeds, so I was able to put in several varieties.
Shelling Peas:
- Champion of England (seeds I got at Monticello!)
- Wando
- Thomas Laxton
- Purple Podded
- Progress 9
- Dark Seeded Early Perfection
Snow or Sugar Snap Peas:
- Oregon Sugar Pod II
- Sugar Ann
- Dwarf Grey Sugar
- Sugar Magnolia
That's a wrap. I'll do another post when I get the greenhouse planted up. I'm still not ready to move all my plants, I think I'll wait until there's a real chance of a frost.
