I prepped the last 2 of the raised beds at the "city house". I didn't plant anything in the middle bed right away - I am reserving most of it for the peppers! I did plant some more Spinach in the front end of it though; Katherine likes her spinach and I wasn't growing any! The spinach in the first, little bed, doesn't look like its doing anything. I re-planted some in the little patch, but thought I better hedge my bets by planting more in the middle patch. While I was at the replanting of the spinach, I went ahead and "transplanted" some of the kale, collards, mustard and even cucumbers! There were multiples coming up in some hills while other hills had none, so I evened things up where I could. I don't know how well they will transplant, but I thought it was worth a try - especially since we are going to be getting rain for the next couple days.
Here is a video describing the onions I planted in the far left bed:
Here are some pics of the beds:

Final, "left" bed, ready to plant! |
|
I put in some onion (yellow) sets (and 3 cloves of garlic!) |
|
This is the middle bed, ready to plant - saving this for peppers and greens rotation. |
|
The first, narrow bed, plants are starting up! |
|
The narrow bed, some plants are seen here, but they are patchy. |
|
Narrow bed, spinach doesn't seem to have caught on. Hmm |

The far right bed with row cover on it. I saw squirrels and birds in it and noticed that several of the new plants had been snipped off! I put the row cover on, but still noticed a squirrel trying to get in and messing with the cover! |
Here is a video I made to document the locations of the plants:
NOTE: I have taken the row cover off of the far right bed because I am afraid that the heavy rain they are predicting may cause the cover to crush the plants. Fingers crossed that the squirrels don't destroy it!
