Putting Seeds and Starts in Containers

May 22, 2020

I filled out the many containers now dotting the big plot. I also filled in pretty much the rest of the four rows in the big plot with various items.

The four big containers on the side of the front porch have (from back to front):

• Beets
• Mustard
• Brussel Sprouts
• Carrot Touchan

I kind of just spread seeds around and put dirt over the top with these ones.

In the third row (closest to the house), I filled the last two big containers with Yellow Onion starts from Menards.

In the second row, I transplanted starts into the bigger containers (from front to back):

• Yellow Onion
• Tomato Roma
• Tomato Roma

In the first row (furthest from house) I transplanted starts into containers (from front yard to back):

• Tomato
• Tomato
• Chard
• Tomato

In the second row itself, I transplanted a bunch of starts:

• Pepper Banana
• Pepper
• Pepper
• Tomato Roma
• Tomato Roma
• Tomato Roma
• Tomato
• Tomato
• Tomato
• Chard
• Chard
• Chard
• Chard
• Chard

Finally, I filled a bin with soil and put a trash bag around the sides to block the sunlight from penetrating the soil (?? don’t know if that needed to be done…), and filled the back with potato spuds, and the front with potato shoots.

Finally, I filled the first and third row last containers with Parsley that had been soaking in warm water for a day. I have to remember this one because I can’t see any plants yet!!

I have just a handful of empty containers in the garden, plus 8 or 10 on my front porch that would be great for herbs.
