My friend Karen has this great business of starting plants from seed and selling them to local nurseries and to the Seattle Tilth for their plant sales. She started more than she needed for the Tilth Sale, and is having a sale in her backyard (in West Seattle). I helped her transplant last month and went over yesterday to pick out some plants for my garden. We got 4 flats of plants! That is quite a lot!!! I am really glad we had already prepared our beds. We mostly got lettuces, lots of different types of chinese greens, some cabbages and kales, and soooo many onions! We got most of the greens planted already, but only the Blue Leeks- Marc was amazed that each leek (about the size of a toothpick) had to be separated and put into the trench about 1 inch apart. We will thin them and eat the baby leeks and leave the rest to mature. I am not sure where I will put the red onions or the Walla Walla Sweets! We have one new bed this year already mapped out, but the soil needs to be turned again, and it probably needs to be amended before planting the hot weather plants like tomatoes, peppers and eggplants! There is a little room left in the back, and there is always space to squeeze them into the front among the herbs... Too much food, what a problem, huh?
