First Plantings

Quinoa: Got it planted last week. Raked it into its bed (88' x 15' at the north side of the garden), then had four days of down pour rain. Checked the seed yesterday, expecting to find it had all washed away or rotted, and were prepared to reseed, but found many of the seeds had begun to germinate. Will possibly reseed the bed again in a week, depending on how much actually sprouts.

Ireland Creek Annie (beans) and Bushy Cucumber (picklers): Put those into the kitchen garden today, seeded directly. 

Heading to the Big Garden in a few to go through the seed packets and plot out the layout of the garden. Getting a late start on this, but hoping to get the early seeds into the ground by the weekend.
