Sugar Snap Pea

Planted 2 pea plants grown from Burpee seed.  Started 2 new plants from seed today, so I will put in new plants every 2 weeks for 12 weeks (3 months).

New dirt

Trying some expensive new dirt for the Earth Box: 420 potting soil, from California's "Emerald Triangle.". It cost $15.99 for 1.5 cu ft at Osh.

Onions bigger

Onions growing well.

Beets

Beets are sprouting in raised bed.  The seeds in a pot sprouted slightly earlier.

Buried clay pot watering

Trying out a method I read about in the book, "Gardening with less water," by David A. Bainbridge.  He uses buried clay pots, filled with water, to keep soil moist and reduce evaporation.  I am using this with directly sewn seeds from Burpee: Cook's custom BEET mix.

Spearmint

Seed package said 7-14 days till "seeds emerge" -- sure enough, it's been about 12 days till I got this microscopic sprout!
