Similar to last season I am going to plant two types which include black seeded Simpson and the Ruby glow hybrid.\u00a0 Both of these plants I had last season, but I was not too impressed on how these plants grew and I want grow them again.<\/p>\n

I also had some problems with groundhogs which ended up eating most of the Ruby glow lettuce.\u00a0 This definitely decreased the yield that I could have received if I didn’t have to deal with these pests.\u00a0 That is why I am going to try it again this season.<\/p>\n

Last year I used small plastic pots and I don’t think that worked out as well as I thought it would.\u00a0 Since these plants don’t need to stay inside that long I thought it would be wise to try out peat pots instead.\u00a0 This way I won’t have to worry too much about transplanting them.\u00a0 I can just place the whole pot right into the ground.<\/p>\n

This year I am planting nine of each type and last year<\/a> I think I planted a little bit more.\u00a0 I will most likely put these plants in between my spinach rows since this will keep all the cool weather crops together.\u00a0 I find that this works quite well.<\/p>\n

\"Lettuce<\/a><\/p>\n

I did add one last container with my dill that I have under fluorescent lights.\u00a0 There was some space left for a smaller container, but the same exact setup was used.\u00a0 This container I decided on planting a variety of seeds including both types of alyssum and dill.<\/p>\n

I thought I would try out how these plants grow together in a smaller container.\u00a0 Hopefully it will work out well when it is time to place them in the ground.<\/p>\n

So far I have been planting my smaller flowers that can easily grow in large containers together.\u00a0 I will soon be working on larger flowers such as sunflowers, cosmos, calendula, amaranthus, and much more.\u00a0 After that I will then begin planting the seeds that will make up the majority of the garden this year.\u00a0 Make sure to check back here periodically to get updates on my garden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
