Planting
On Monday I planted the first run of plants in the garden. I cleared little patches in the straw and added a few handfuls of a top soil/potting soil mixture, this is what I planted in. After the garden was built, I watered it twice a day. I’ve now gone down to once a day. Hopefully, in a couple of weeks when the sprouts are a little bigger and healthier, we can start watering far less frequently. Here is the list of plants that I planted:
Cherry tomatoes- from sprouts
Early girl tomatoes- from small plants
Serrano chilies- from sprouts
Basil-from sprouts
Onion- from small sprouts
Garlic- from sprouted cloves
Ruby red chard- seeds
Rainbow chard- seeds
Sassy salad- seeds
Cilantro- seeds
And some pictures:

I loved your garden, it’s very neat. I would like to grow all the veg i eat but……I do have 1 tom.plant, 1 jalepeno, 1 bell pepper, a bunch of onions, and some celantro, all in pots. What you have done makes a lot of sence. I have mine in pots because of the critters around here, and we have a lot of them. We are loving you and missing you much.
