During the week that our power was out, following an ice storm, I started more seeds. I planted celery, leeks, and onions.
Out in the garden I sowed lettuce, arugula, Ethiopian kale, spinach, two kinds of chard, and three kinds of peas.
The first lettuce and chard are in the greenhouse and doing well. The onions and leeks are now ready to put out there.
Today I started my chard. I sowed two six packs of Rainbow chard and one six pack of Bietola a Costa Fine, which I got from Adaptive Seeds. It's supposed to be a Tuscan type but with narrower ribs and very sweet flavor. The lettuce, arugula and kale are up and are out in the greenhouse.
Today I started the first seeds of this year's garden. I sowed a six pack each of four different varieties of lettuce, plus arugula and Ethiopian kale. They're in the garage on the workbench, under an inverted plastic tub, over the heat mat.
