Let the Gardening Begin!

Posted on by

Thanks to my new planters I am on schedule with my spring planting. The raised planters took a lot of work out of planting and it will make weeding much easier and protect the plants from the rabbits. We’ll see if my blaming the rabbits last year was correct, or if the squirrels were helping them out.

I planted Red Romaine Lettuce, Pak Choi, Beets, and Red Onions (The sign said Candy Onions which are Yellow and I didn’t check the sticks in the trays. I should know better.) I don’t know when these turn red, but I planted them for green onions. I’ll find out in a month or so.

The planters are in relatively good condition, but they need a coat of stain which I will apply when the weather is warmer and dry. The second planter will get green beans when the weather warms.
Beets and green onions are in the planter nearest the house. I will succession plant onions.
These two planters have the Red Romain and Pak Choi. Radish seeds will go in next week. I’ll succession plant green beans and possibly more radishes.
