Week 7

I'm getting a little behind on this.  I need to get posts done in a more timely manner.

Well, week 7 was pretty rockin'.  A little under a third of the garden was planted.  I'm adding rows from either end, a foot apart.  The East end looks like this:

On this end we put in green bunching onions, radishes, purple mustard greens, turnips, salad bowl lettuce, broccolli, spinach, and carrots.

On the west side, we put in Peas, Green Bush Beans, more carrots, another variety of Spinach, Romaine Lettuce, and the sunflowers that Angel started in the greenhouse.  Angel put the sunflowers in herself.  We tried to get the boys involved, but they were highly resistant.  

I really wanted a decent way to mark the crops, with the requirement that I spend zero dollars on the marking system.  So, I had some PVC and some tomato stake material.  I cut the wood into foot long stakes, drilled holes in the PVC, and cut them into inch and a half sections, and nailed them to the stakes.  We'll see how they hold up.
