Long Awaited Update on Transplanting to Garden and Seed Planting

It has been awhile since the last post and I have been real busy with planting new seeds, making rows, digging up soil, and even began transplanting many plants as well.  Let’s get into what has been going on in the garden up until now.

Let’s first start at the beginning with digging rows for broccoli, lettuce, and spinach.  I made two rows for all four seeds.  The first row has half broccoli and half spinach seeds.  The second row has lettuce, but two different types: king crimson hybrid and a green lettuce.

I also planted some sunflowers seeds in one corner of the garden.  I think I will be planted a couple of seeds in each corner in order to attract beneficial honeybees that my garden will need.  I like the mammoth sunflowers seeds because they can grow quite tall.

Once this was done I then moved on to plant corn seeds since the weather has been good over the past week or so.  It was time to get them into the ground before some much needed rain arrives.  I planted two full rows of corn seeds and planted transplanted flowers in between the rows.

I was also able to transplant the first batch of dill, alyssum, and wildflowers into the garden.  I still have much more to transplant, but this is the first plants that I started growing back in March.  It was definitely time to get them in the ground before root bound becomes and issue.

I also had time to thin out my pea and radish plants this afternoon as well.  They were starting to crowd each other and getting them thinned out today was the appropriate thing to do.  Now all I have to do is some weeding in the next couple of days to help them out even more.

The last thing I planted which I did this afternoon is getting my broccoli and brussel sprouts into the garden.  The were ready enough that they could have been planted.  I placed them right next to the row with lettuce seeds.  This keeps all the spring crops in one section.

So far this is all I have done in the garden at the moment.  I still have plants growing indoors including more alyssum and dill.  I also have tomatoes, melons, eggplants, peppers, and many more types of flowers that I plan on placing outside very soon.
