Patrick’s Rants

It’s been a little over a month since the square foot garden was started. I realized that I hadn’t properly checked the amount of sun the boxes get – it’s heavy afternoon shade. Since the tomatoes and peppers are full day sun it means I probably won’t get as much out of them as I should.

The plants haven’t grown too much and only a few seeds that I direct seeded are coming up. I did start with some really old seed but I was expecting a better turnout. Yesterday, to see if I could get any better results I seeded mung beans, celery and more mustard. Again all fairly old seed so I will see if I get anything from these.
