"Like seed sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit thirty and sixty and a hundredfold" Mark 4:20

Time to Plant

Bed #1

11/2 on right side of bed I sowed a row of Sweet Spanish Yellow Onion Utah Jumbo seeds (germinates in 10-12days; harvest in 115 days) and a row of Red Burgandy Onion (germ 10-12 days; harv in 100 days)

Bed #2

4 Collard greens planted 11/1

Bed #3

Cilantro planted 11/1




Tomato Plants planted 11/1
left to right: beefsteak, early girl, husky cherry, beefsteak

From left to right

1st row- 11/1 tomato plants shown in previous picture

2nd & 3rd row- 11/1 Romaine Lettuce (short rows so I can reach), then existing bell pepper and cilantro shown in previous picture

4th row - 11/2 seeds of Carrot Denvers #126 (germinate 8-12 days; harvest 75days) mixed with radish seeds Easter Egg II Blend Festive & Champion (both germ 4-7days; harv 28 days) there is chives in front of this row which I may pull next time I use because it will grow too big and I have chives elsewhere.

5th row- 11/2 seeds of Spinach Espinaca Giant 157 Hybrid (germ 7-14days; harv 50 days)

6th row- 11/2 seeds of Spinach Espinaca Baby Leaf Hybrid (germ 7-14days; harv 30 days)

7th & 8th row - 11/1 Simpson Elite Leaf Lettuce

9th row - 11/2 seeds of Lettuce Great Lakes #118 (germ 7-10days; harv 82 days); behind is existing basil

I have space for more but there are seedlings popping out so I'll wait to see what they are, then at the very right of bed #3 shown below I sowed a row of seeds (11/2) of Stringless Blue Lake Pole Beans FM1K (germ 7-10days; harv 60 days) I think it's too early for this but I did it anyway. And another chives plant growing on that row.

I haven't decide where to plant this rosemary, maybe I'll keep it in the pot.

These are existing plants and herbs that survived the summer months:

Basil and Bell Pepper

Thyme with new geranium plant

Oregano that grows like a weed



Sage

Around the sage are seedlings coming up. I'm not sure what they are but when I rubbed the leaves they smelled like tomato plants. I didn't have tomatoes growing in this bed so I'm not sure. I'll wait and see, maybe the wind blew some seed over.

Swiss Chard and a tomato plant in the back bed with the new collard greens.

Bell pepper plant which I transplanted from another bed and chives

Eggplant (I think this is it's 4th year)
