The grid is laid!



The sun came out for a brief glimmer today, just long enough for me to lay the grid in my garden beds and plant some seeds. I used twine for the grid even though the square foot gardener method calls for a "permanent" grid. I just don't know how I feel about the method, but so far it seems easy for a beginner to figure out how much space I have and figure out where to put things.

Despite the wind storm going on I got 2 types of peas, beans, cucumber, several types of lettuce, corn, zucchini and yellow squash. My packet of carrot seeds blew away and it took me about 10 minutes of searching to find them. I eventually planted the first of many carrot squares.

I checked on the seeds I planted Fridays indoors. I was shocked to see some of the onions have sprouted! Yea!

I forgot to post this picture of filling the garden beds (which got me on the couch with a heating pad for 2.5 days), so here it is.
