Even though it was Saturday of Easter weekend, we celebrated by planting spring seeds. The beet bed got a lot of tender loving care just before the rain on Thursday night...and now the beets have plenty of room to grow!!
As far as seeds that got planted? We dug 7-10 holes in each of the six beds that are now home to: honeydew, zucchini, cantaloupe, yellow squash, cucumbers, and watermelon. The cooler weather was ideal for all the digging and planting, and it only took about an hour.
Rod, Judy and I stayed to make sure all the watering lines were flushed out of the accumulated algae, and to make sure the timers were programmed to come on automatically. Now the Dixie sunshine can do her thing and we'll just watch everything grow!!
Before everyone left, we picked some beets, lettuce and spinach, along with a couple of ripe strawberries (the kids thought that was great!), a few carrots, and some herbs!
