Garden Fence

All Protected from the Puppy

We finished the garden fence today. After debating back and forth, we decided to go with electric, one reason being it's much cheaper. I think it looks nicer too. We released the hound and after three shocks, I think she's got the idea to stay away.

Once that was finished I planted spinach, radishes, lettuce, kale, and mustard. I was hoping to get the peas going today, but I need to put in some mushroom soil in the bed that will hold the legumes this year. Since the nursery was closed today, that didn't happen, but hopefully we will get it started this week.

On another note, the indoor seeds have mostly sprouted over the week. I don't have an ideal light setup yet, but I have been keeping the light on in the kitchen all night. I even brought them outside this afternoon for a little while since it was cloudy and warm.

The seedlings are taking off.

Only half the broccoli and the leeks came up. Since that is very old seed, I am throwing it away and getting new next year. The peppers and celery aren't up yet, but I'm not too concerned about that yet.
