Gorgeous day before a storm

I just put a trellis up for the cucumbers that have sprouted along the left wall. I got all the sprinklers in and the soil mixed so I am assuming in a matter of minutes I’ll be able to fill up these bins!

I bought some seed tape yesterday of some Cherry Belle Radish. They say it was 15 feet however it didn’t even reach around the edge of the bin so that was no 15 feet! I am going to also transplant my summer squash in that bin since the radish will be ready in 22 days and the squash will be ready in 65 days.

Here are some pics from iphone. The seed tape. My mom happy in her garden doing some weeding and the spinach from my bee boxes that are now growing. I put some lettuce containers over the lettuce to speed up the growing of the lettuce sprouts since it’s still a bit cold.
