Bob And Susan

I planted two rows each of carrots (seed tape - gotta love that), two rows of red onion bulbs, two rows of last years seeds of red Detroit beets (hopefully they will still be good), one row of radishes (seed tape again - yay), and one row on Swiss chard seeds (so second generation and climatized seeds for my garden) that I dried out last fall. 

My method this year of two rows is the tracks that the garden tiller left behind each time I tilled a row so that the two rows are about 4 -6 inches apart.  When I would move on to different vegetable then I would leave about a foot between the rows.  I also planted some (old) marigold seeds and some third generation calendula seeds (that I dried last fall) at the ends of each row of veggies to attract the good bugs and it looks so pretty too!

I also found some bone and blood meal in my gardening shed so I tilled that into each row (except the carrots - I forgot).  I am hoping that with the the tens bags of sheep manure distributed last fall and tilled into the garden and the six bags of sheep manure, five wheel barrel fulls of compost and lots of red wrigglers tilled into the garden this spring that I will have some great veggies this summer.
