[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1928940, member: 31715"] [header]The First Plantings![/header] Well after sleeping for 12 hours, I still wasn't ready to get up and start working on the beds LOL! But I eventually came to, and off we go outside to plant our beds. We have started a handful of seeds inside, and I also picked up a few plants while I was at home depot buying the wood for the mega L. The plants I bought were: 2 red bell peppers 1 green bell pepper 1 Jalepeno 1 Cucumber 1 Roma Tomato 4 Strawberries (2 varieties) Some seeds we started inside were: Zucchini Beefsteak Tomatoes Bunching Onions Carrots lettuce? Peas And some other stuff that we have no idea of since my wife didn't label them... :study: So for our 4 beds, this is what we decided to plant. [b]Bed 1[/b] (first bed, up against fence) This is our leafy green bed since it doesn't get as much sun. [list]Spinach Kale Collards Salad Lettuce (variety)[/list] And all of this was just seeds planted into the bed. No established plants or seedlings! [b]Bed 2[/b](Second bed built, also alongside fence) This will probably be half tomatoes and half experiments. I know it's not super ideal for tomatoes as it doesn't get more than about 4-5 hours of sun a day, but we didn't want to have the tomatoes in the mega L. So we planted 3 things [list]Our Roma Tomato Plant A few of out beefsteak seedlings ( whichever ends up growing the best will stay, we will only keep 1 of the beefsteak plants and... Watermelon. [/list] Yes, we just don't see the need to have 1 box for only tomatoes. I know they are a popular crop, but we honestly just don't eat, or need that many. So that leaves about half the bed unused. And we have a variety of watermelon seed that is supposed to grow a bit smaller and be much easier to grow, so we are gonna try it. It might be a massive failure, but that's ok. If it fails, no big loss. If it works, well shoot, I got me some watermelon! :D 1 watermelon plant was started indoors, so I planted that one along with some seeds too since the seedling was quite young. I will only keep 1 of the watermelon plants assuming it grows. [b]The Mega L[/b] Here is a list of everything planted in the mega L [list]Sweet Valaria onions Walla walla onions Red burgundy onions Bunching onions Carrots Red bell peppers Green bell peppers Jalepenos Cucumber Zucchini And our 4 strawberry plants[/list] I Love me some onions. Especially the sweet variety. The valaria onions are the ones I bought at the store already started. They are already smelling great! The other 3 varieties are all seed sown into the bed. So I overseeded them and will thin them out as they start to grow. Carrots were also planted as seed. Zucchini was a seedling we germinated and grew up a bit indoors. Everything else was already an established plant bought from the store. Starting from seed outdoors is a bit intimidating. Hopefully they all sprout. Box 1 our greens box is all 100% seed sown. So it was all overseeded too to give us better chances of getting viable plants. It's nice to go to the store and buy the plant already. But hopefully seeing them start sprouting and knowing you did it from seed will be more fun and rewarding. [GALLERY=media, 29247][/GALLERY] The closest half of the bed is my onion corner :) All my onions are there. You can see the valarias that are already getting decently big. Then I planted the other 3 varieties as seeds. And in the corner very closest in the picture, there is 2 square feet or so of carrot seed planted too. I'll get some better pictures up in a bit. And will continue to take pictures as everything is growing :) We are planning to also container garden 2 potato varieties. Hopefully russet potatoes and Yukon Golds. We will use these decently large pots we have for that. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
