Second Planting

Outdoor Temp: 55 degrees
Soil Temp: 55 degrees

Overcast and drizzly when we started, then turned to sunny.

Donna and Robyn brought our seeds and starts out yesterday, to be planted asap. So, today we spent 3 1/2 hours getting it all in the ground...everything except for the beets, as it says they shouldn't be planted until the soil reaches 60 degrees.

I planted:

• Cilantro
• Carrots (St. Valery, Negovia, & Nectar)
  
• Spinach (Whale & Tyee)
  
• Pandora Leeks
• Cabbage (Red Express, Alcosa Savoy, & Early Jersey Wakefield)
  
• Snow Crown Cauliflower
• Kale (Winterbore, True Siberian, Redbor)
• Champion Collards
• Romaine
• Lettuce Mix (Encore mix, Nevadea Summer crisp, Ovation greens, Black seeded simpson, Sylvesta Butterhead, Grand Rapids, Rouge d' Hiver, Red Cross Butterhead)
• Radishes (not sure which varieties: Pink Beauty, White Icicles, Purple Plum, French Breakfast)
• Osaka Purple Mustard

Rich planted:

• Artichokes
  

It feels so great to have it all in the ground. Rich and I are exhausted and sore... what a great way to spend the afternoon.

We also stopped by the feed store tonight to get some straw and check out baby chicks. I got the calendar showing when each breed will be coming in... it looks like April 24th & 29th are our days!! I think we are getting a Rhode Island Red, Americauna, Black Sex Link, Buff Orpington, Barred Rock, and possibly a Black Austrolorp. I'm soooooo excited!!!
