This is my attempt at keeping a garden journal. I never seem to keep up with journals (or blogs) for that matter, but everywhere I read the experts say I should keep one. This is my second square foot garden. Last year, we started in the middle of the summer and had the harvest go into fall. This year, we are starting much earlier. Our little 4x4 square of adventure as I like to think of it.

In the Ground: Round 1

Today the seeds for carrots, radish, turnip, spinach, lettuce, and potatoes all went into the ground. I get nervous that one seed is not enough or not going to work, so I always put a few in the little hole (I'll thin the others out if I have too later)

  • Four Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 12 Danvers Half Long Carrots
  • 12 Nantes Scarlet Half Long Carrots
  • 12 French Breakfast Radish
  • 9 Purple top white globe turnip
  • 2 Bloomsdale long standing spinach
  • 4 bibb lettuce
Aside from the lettuce, I have not grown or had success growing any of these.... YET! Now that I live in the house with the garden in the backyard and not just visiting on the weekend, I'll have a better chance of keeping up with it. A little warm water and a whole lot of sunshine and I'm hoping for a good salad this summer.
