I finally got around to planting the garden! It's only been on my list for 3 weeks now...
But first, a quick update on my transplants. They died. All of them. A nice man in the gardening center at Walmart told me they probably caught a fungus because I didn't use sterile mix. Oh. Important note to self: use sterile mix next time. Or buy the seed trays with the little round dirt pods in them.
Today, I planted straight into the dirt. It was nice.
I planted:
* asparagus roots. The aforementioned nice man at Walmart suggested I plant roots from the King Jersey version (3 for $3!!) and I would get asparagus THIS YEAR instead of 2+ years down the road. Sold!
* Bibb lettuce
* sweet corn (in 3 hills close together)
* prolific squash
* bell peppers
After I get more dirt, I'm going to plant ever-bearing strawberries and more peppers.
Happy gardening!
