Planting Day Three


i was excited to find artichoke starts at the nursery the other day. i had previously purchased seeds and had planned to start them indoors, but this was a huge time saver. i decided to plant 2 starts, not sure how much each will yield.

the rain held off long enough to also get the watermelon and crenshaw melon seeds planted. the soil is pretty soaked, so will most likely have to wait a day or two for planting the pole beans, onions, carrots and beets.

i read online that growing ginger was easy, so i decided to give it a try. i started by soaking the rhizomes in warm water overnight, then potting them in a bit of rich soil. they're sitting in a sunny window for a week or two until they sprout, then will be transplanted to the main garden.
