Garden Updates for Summer/Fall

As my last post indicated, things/gardens are always changing. This means that I, as a gardener, must also evolve or watch my garden slowly become empty as I harvest crops.

Because of this, I put seeds into some starter pots in order to transplant them in a few weeks. Included in the batch is Brussels sprouts (I decided to forgo a spring crop and just do a fall crop as it is rumored that a few light frosts on the sprouts will help sweeten them up a little), red peppers (as my previous starters have all died), 5 color Swiss chard, 3 types of lettuce (because much of mine is about ready to harvest and a second crop this year would be nice), melon (as only one that I have planted directly has sprouted), lime basil (these too have failed to survive my first transplant), and cucumber. Here is hoping that they all do better the second time around.

Here is my seed starting cell pack

Also a quick update on my peas by way of pictures as they are growing fast and furious right now.
