Planting for warm weather

We ate the last of the lettuce last weekend - after giving away heaps of heads to neighbors.



  The spring onions and carrots were nice too. 



The weather is warming up, though, so it's time for summer crops. This morning I planted:

Beets - Bull's Blood
Corn - Stowell's Evergreen
Peppers - Korean Dark Green
Garden Pea - Wando
Tomatoes - Illini Star
Tomatoes - Pantano Romanesco
Eggplant - Diamond

  I planted all these from seed today. Last year, I made the mistake of crowding all the plants too closely. This year I hope to do better by carefully following the directions on the seed packs.  The total surface of the little raised bed is 4 feet x 10 feet.
