Big day of planting:

one row of carrots in front of the basil in the front yard.
one row of radishes in front of the carrots in front of the basil in the front yard.

Kara played little house on the prairie and sprinkled corn down into the side yard. I pushed the seeds 2″ deep and covered with a bit of compost. We’re again looking to try the three sisters so we sprinkled the seeds instead of putting them in rows.

backyard:
*yesterday we made our cantelope mounds; I had one watermelon and and one melon plant from a Lowe’s discount rack that were already in the ground.
*our beans are up. We planted peas today along the same wall and cucumbers on the back wall.
*In the middle bed, we planted our store bought herbs (two basil from Greensgrow and two basil from Lowe’s). I put these in the middle of the bed and we’re going to plant tomatoes along the side (I read somewhere that it’s good to put tomatoes and basil in the same bin.)
*In the right bed, we planted four rows of lettuce: Green Leaf, Arugula, Green Oak Leaf, and the Red Sail.

I’ll try and post some pictures tomorrow.
