Although it was a mostly rainy weekend here, it was a pretty warm one. I took advantage of a few hours between the storms to do a small expansion on the veg garden.

It’s nothing major – I just extended Potager Parlour a few more feet to line up with the edge of the shed.

It gave me a little more square footage for a few more containers including the raised greenouse bed I showed you a few weeks back.

I still have to get some mulch to cover the landscape fabric (so it matches the rest of the veg garden), and some bricks to raise the other containers up off the ground. But I was able to plant up the greenhouse bed.

It’s not huge, but it’s got six short rows of seeds – three of lettuce, and three of spinach. And I hope this new bed is the key to being successful with both.

It will still be several weeks before I have anything really exciting going on in the veg beds.

But my garlic is sprouting nicely!

And…

I think I’ve mostly decided what plants will go where throughout the beds. I have six containers unspoken for so I have to decide it I want to get some more seeds… or just plant them up with some flowers for cutting.
