More planting!

seedling in a soil block ready to transplant
Well I made lots of soil blocks and have been planting lots of seeds. The best gardening season of the year is fall to spring; summers are just too darn hot. I've planted the following,either in the ground or in soil blocks:
  • Amber violas from Botanical Interests.
  • pakchoy
  • tatsoy
  • Broccoli-purple, DiCicco and Romanesco
  • Early Snowball Cauliflower
  • Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage
  • Red Giant Mustard
  • dwarf snap dragons
  • mixed lettuces
  • Golden Globe Turnips
  • Easter Egg Radishes
  • Western Front Kale
  • mache
  • mizuna
  • chard
  • spinach
  • Sweet Magnolia, a purple podded snap pea
 If you don't know what soil blocks are, I wrote a three part article about them, complete with color photos of making and using them. You can read part one, at this link: Seed Starting in Soil Blocks. There are links to the other parts on that page.
mmmmm didn't I just cut down those stupid trees???
