Progress in the Garden.
I have chosen Anaheim pepper, carrots, and blue bush beans. I will be adding sunflowers for pollination preference, and I will be planting them over by the bush beans because, according to the chart you gave us, they like each other. I have not planted or chosen a plant to help with pests, but I will be looking to find one that will work with the other plants I have chosen, according to the companion planting chart you have given us. For my sprouts, as I said last week, I have chosen to grow radish, specifically sparkling radish. As for the spinach I am growing, specifically Bloomsdale Long Standing spinach, because it had the shortest days to harvest, and I wanted to be sure they grew in time during this class.
During this upcoming week I will have a few things to do. I will need to continue tending to what I have already planted, watering them and checking to see if they have sprouted. I will need to plant any of the plants that I am starting inside when they sprout, should any sprout this week. I will need to search for another seed to plant for pest control. I will need to plant a few sunflower seeds; I'm still deciding if I want to start them inside or just plant them outside. I will also be looking for supplies to build a worm tower; I’m doing this for fun and to hopefully get some good compost out of it.
Look my sprouts!!!!
