Forgot to mention the compost cover crop I planted last fall. As you can see, the "compost" grew just fine. Here is a picture from the end of January.
The best thing to do is pull up these plants and compost them in the bin. But I was too lazy and just turned them under. This is considered the second best thing to do. Just make sure they're turned deep enough not to grow back. I turned these under on January 23.
I also picked up some free compost from the dump on March 14, and put a pretty healthy layer on top of these planter boxes and mixed it in a little bit.
Finally, I direct-sowed some seeds that are expected to be ready for harvest in 30 days (Mid-April). That will leave time for my seedlings to grow up in their flats and I can transplant to these planter boxes. The seeds I direct sowed today include:
- Snow Peas (5), Oregon Sugar Pod II from Bountiful gardens 2007.
- Baby Bok Choi (2), Toy Choi Hybrid from Burpee 2009.
- Radish (2), German Giant from Burpee 2009.
