Basil
Cilantro
Bush Beans
Lettuce
Beets

Sweet 100
I planted a Sweet 100 and Better Boy in 1 square foot each, next to a trellis to vine it. I planted 2 Roma and 2 Better boy in 32 square feet total. I staggered them so [...]

After seeing how well my onion sets did, while my starts totally failed, I planted 3 more squares of them. They may not get very big, but I’m hoping small is better than none!

So I’ve been busy today! I’ve been planting and planting! The squares in white have been planted. I did minimal switching around from my original plan–a few squares were empty, and I decided to fill them with potatoes and onions.

Seed potatoes (5 lb bag) $5.50
Onion sets (80) $1.50
Fertilizer for indoor plants $5.00
Growing outside:
Garlic
Spinach
Lettuce (transplants and [...]
