More Planting

We had a nice day yesterday, so I took advantage and planted some seeds.  I am trying beets this year, never planted them before, so it is an experiment.  I also planted spinach, leaf lettuce, head lettuce, cucumbers (two kinds) and yard-long Kaoshuing beans.  The beans are from Taiwan and apparently grow very long and have very small black beans and taste like asparagus.  Another new endeavor.

I also planted many seeds in the cuc and bean trenches.  I usually only plant two seeds and space evenly, but I never get enough fruit.  So I used the entire packets of seeds this time and spread them closer together.  I am hoping they all sprout and I can train them up shared vertical lines for greater harvest.

I am leaving many areas of the garden open for later plantings.  Last year I had too much all at once and I know better than that.  So this year I am back to really rigidly spacing the plantings out.
