A quick look at the garden today shows lettuce, kale, and tatsoi fully up, and the beets, spinach, and swiss chard are popping up, too, along with Round 3 carrots. I finally got some cabbage seedlings from Native Nurseries, along with cauliflower seedlings to try because why not. I haven't heard of anyone growing cauliflower. Maybe they are more problematic? I also impulse bought some more swiss chard seeds and Flashy Trout Back Lettuce seeds. I saw those lettuce seeds one time too many to resist.
It looks like I lost a cabbage seedling in the garden (1 square foot free probably for a purchased cabbage seedling), I am going to remove the okra (another cabbage seedling spot), and I am going to remove the vine-borer ravaged candy roaster squash from their tub (cauliflowers + swiss chard and/or lettuce?). Two more cabbage seedlings are going into the two containers I have free (maybe sneak in some swiss chard here?). And I still have half of the pallet bed for more lettuce.
That leaves me with three 5-gal containers (one has the waning/end-of-life bell pepper, one has marigolds, and one has the end-of-life Serrano pepper) and no more soil really. I doubt I will do anything with them until tomato time roles around again. I would like some cold-hardy flowering plants though, probably to replace the zinnias and penta. Maybe a trip to Tallahassee Nurseries is in order next.
