I know I am a little behind on my Post...the seeds came about three weeks ago. We ordered all Heirloom seeds from Baker Creek and Annie's along with seeds we collected...they are in the yellow envelopes.
The beets got planted...In fact my garden bed will be nothing but Beets and cucumbers this season. The kids and I each choose two things to plant...well in Trinitys case much more, she is growing a cut flower garden.
I planted several different varieties of beets; Cylindra, Bull's Blood (from last years pack), Golden and Chioggia. Early April I will be planting Boston Picking Cucumbers and Alex will be planting Mexican Sour Gherkins. In late April Alex will plant Melon Boule D'Or. And Trinity will be putting in, Love In A Mist, Zinnia Lilliput, Zinnia Polar Bear, Dwarf Coral Mix Cockscomb, Bright Light Cosmos along with Morning Glory Carnevale Di Venezia for fun and several of the seeds we saved from last year.
Alex and I have a bet going as to who will have the best garden as you can see he thinks he is going to win. The looser has to treat to lunch at our favorite diner along with gloating rights. We are well know at the local diner so this will be very painful for one of us.
