First Outdoor Sowing

Rhubarb, March 24

Today I sowed peas (Sugar Snaps) and radishes (Early Scarlet Globe) in the garden plot. All of them are old seeds, I just finally managed to place my seed order with Sand Hill Preservation Center today. It rained hard yesterday and the ground was a bit muddy, which should be fine for the peas, but I am not sure if it might have been too wet for the radishes. No rain in the forecast for the next few days, overcast and in the 40s.

Spring greens on the porch

Five days ago, I also sowed some old spring greens mix in two large containers on my porch. It is a mix of lettuces, spinach, chard, arugula, mustard and wrinkled cress. It looks as if at least some of the seeds have germinated.
