Garden, yay!

[Posted a few places; sorry if you see dupes.]

Well, I've been doing the garden in short bursts to keep from burning out, and I finally have the whole square-foot plot planted. I'll take pictures soon, but here's what I have planted:

rainbow chard?	violet queen cauliflower	lettuce	rainbow bush beans
rainbow chard?	violet queen cauliflower	violet queen cauliflower	rainbow bush beans
red carrots	red carrots	momotaro tomatoes	fino verde basil
yellow onions	strawberries	beets	beets

I only planted one tomato plant this year. I know tomatoes won't do all that well in my plot because of all the shade, but I can't seem to let go of the need to have fresh tomatoes. Maybe I'll plant some more in containers in stonebender's back yard (with his permission, of course) and see if they can handle only being tended once a week.

The "rainbow chard?" is because I planted some seeds that had spilled in my seed box, and I *think* they're chard, but I don't know for sure.

Oh, and since the last time I was there, there are suddenly leaves on the apple tree!

If they were funny brown knobbly seeds that look like small dried peas but with more corners, then they probably *are* chard. I need to plant some up myself, chard is great stuff. :)

The trouble is that the beet seeds look similar to me. :-)

(Don't tell anyone, but I hate chard. I'm hoping to grow some for loracs, who loves it.)
