Two weeks ago I started this year’s garden.
My lettuce and radish seedlings and the shallots are big enough to see from the window. And my spinach has sprouted! I’ve had terrible luck with spinach. Must be an Easter miracle.
Very few of the beets are up, and the chard is nowhere to be found. Two volunteer dills are doing well, as is the sole leftover/volunteer endive.
I got my tomatoes, but one has died, and another is ailing, so I might need to get more from the garden store. Along with my eggplant and rosemary. Of course, I was at the nursery this weekend, but I only got ornamentals, which I’m hoping to plant Wednesday.
This weekend, I put in: fennel, mesclun, more lettuce, more radishes. And more chard, which I don’t expect much from.
I still have a blank spot in back for more mesclun or lettuce, and if the chard doesn’t grow, more beets. Also, if the beets don’t sprout, more beets…
It’s a good thing I like salad.
