I visited the horse stables and scooped a bunch of composted manure for the garden. I came home and amended the main garden bed with the compost. I planted out the rest of my seedlings (basil, cabbage, peppers (I think they were mini sweets, but am not sure), artichoke and nastrums. I added it to a side bed and planted herbs (basil, dill and chives). And I added scoops around some of my sad looking veggies.
I decided to make a seed mix and sprinkle it over the newly composted bed and see what happens. My seed mix included:
- Artichoke
- Beans, Bush, Blue Lake
- Beets (Detroit Dark Red)
- Bibb lettuce
- Boc Choi
- Cantaloupe
- Carrot (unknown variety)
- Carrot (Danvers half long)
- Carrot (Nutri-Red)
- Cucumber
- Datil Peppers
- Kohlrabi
- Okra
- Peas (Little Marvel (Dwarf))
- Sweet Corn
- Swiss Chard (Fordhook Giant)
I have a huge broccoli plant from the small head I harvested (just realized I didn't post about that) and it's put off two tiny side shoots. I mean very tiny, as in smaller than the size of a dime. I think I'll pull the huge plant and put it in the compost. For the space it's taking up and the amount it's producing it's not really worth keeping.
Without further ado, here are some pictures for you to enjoy!

I apologize for the blurry pictures. I guess that's what happens when you've only slept 2 hours and haven't had any coffee.
