Garden Plantings as of December 4, 2012

Garden Crop Plantings

It has still been hot in December. from the high 70's to mid 60's

 It is almost the last of the summer crops of watermelon and birdhouse gourds and now the lettuce is ready to trim. We should of enough for 3 salads a week until mid-May by just triming these Dynamite Soft -hearted Butterhead Lettuce plants. We still have more serrano peppers than we can use. The beets, kale, swiss chard and spinach are all ready as well as radishes and carrots. Here is a finally list of plantings that are in the garden currently.
The garden soil is still not quite right but it is the first year that it has been prepared. Seeds seem hard to germinate but once the roots get down a three of four inches they seem to grow fast.  The broccoli is two and one half tall and is thriving.  I have fertilized the last two weeks with 1/4 lb of nitrogen per 1000 square feet each time.
