Here we go again

With some encouragement from Dierdre we decided to plant a big fall garden again this year. We started most of the seeds today. We planted:
  • Contender Bush Beans
  • Olympian Hybrid Cucumbers
  • Dwarf Gray Sugar Peas (bush)
  • Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce
  • Legend Tomatoes
  • Tyee Hybrid Spinach
  • Black Beauty Zucchinis
  • Calwonder 300 Bell Peppers
  • Cilantro
  • Oregano
  • Thyme
  • Aster, California Poppies, and Cosmos flowers
We have Imperator Carrots, Early Yellow Globe Onions, and Evergreen White Bunching Onions left to plant, but we are going to try and start them directly in the garden, so that we can plant all the seed (it would take way too many cups otherwise) When I did it in cups, as each seed just yields one carrot or onion, etc... I ended up with not too many of them. So this time all the seeds go in rows in the garden, and then we'll thin them out if necessary.

Hopefully next weekend I'll fertilize and till the garden, then we'll get that stuff planted.
