What's in the soil...

This post is about what's growing in the yard. I am really happy with the progress the veggies have been making. It's almost as if they were waiting for the winters to pass before they did any growing. Also, now I get about an hour of sunlight in the yard everyday. So it makes things better.

Bed 1 = 4 Radishes and about 30 spinach plants. I love this variety of Spinach called Kashmiri Spinach. It's leaves remind me of rocket. I'll post pictures later in the day. The Radishes are doing so well. I'm really proud. They maybe ready for harvest in a couple of weeks.

Bed 2 = 7 Chinese Cabbages , Calendula and about 50 Celery plants.
4 of the 7 cabbages were planted in December and are just starting to do well. I planted about 20 more seeds last week and with this lovely weather they have already sprouted. I'm sure more are along the way. My garden is a maternity ward of vegetables right now... :D

Bed 3 = Well, this is probably the single biggest mess I have ever created because of my impatience. I initially planted garlic, which I transplanted last month to another bed. Then ... wondering what to sow next, I hastily planted Fennel. After 2 weeks of no sprouting, I planted more radishes. Now the bed is full of tiny little sprouts and I have NO idea what they are. However, I cut a little leaf and I think I smelled Fennel!!!

Bed 4 : Garlic, that was transplanted from Bed 3 and 5 sets of Onions.

I also have Regular Spinach growing in Tubs.
5 containers of coriander.
5 containers of lettuce.
5 separate containers of Celery.
3 containers of Parsley.
2 containers of Cherry tomatoes, which need transplanting in a couple of weeks.

This is the last harvest from this house as we move in April.
Good times.

I have also put a list in the side bar as to what's in sprouting trays.
