summer's coming!

so i planted some more stuff. Tomatoes, basil, summer squash, and zuchinni, to be specific.

BOOM.

Spring planting round two

Yesterday the Troy farmer's market moved back outside (yay!) so I went up to score some new seedlings. For about $11 I got one lavender, one summer squash, one zuchini, 3 spinach, and 1 parsley. Then I went over to the co-op to pick up 6 beets, 6 arugula, and an artichoke. It's still too early for some things to go in the ground, but the arugula, spinach, and beets are planted.

4 arugula

6 beets

3 spinach, 1 arugula

The beets had this weird white fuzz in the roots which I thought was mold. I looked it up in my gardening book and online and didn't find much beyond beet root rot, which may or may not be what this is. I took a chance and planted them anyway, so if the beets taste moldy or the entire garden turns into a fungus bed we know why.

The seedlings I already planted (lettuce, swiss chard, and brussel sprouts) are still going strong. yeaaaaaaa man!
