Veggies here we come!

I went to the market on wednesday and purchased a whole bunch of veggie plants to put in our vegetable garden boxes. It is all just so exciting. It is unbelievable how little money you end up spending compared to the amount of stuff you will be receiving in return. Unreal!
So what did I end up getting and pretty much planting right away you ask? Well, don't let me keep you in suspense.
we have six separate boxes spread over three layers, which will become obvious once I can get pictures inserted here. Box1 contains spinach (last years reseeded itself) as well as curled leaf lettuce and arugula. Box2 contains multiplier onions, garlic and carrots, Box 3 contains green and red peppers, box 4 contains strawberries, as well as jalapeno peppers. Box5 has 3 different kinds of tomatoes and english cucumbers and box 6 has 2 types of beans, peas and broccoli and cauliflower.
Of course 30 minutes after I planted all of this a bunny ran by. Murphies law. said bunny has of yet not discovered the delicious tender lettuce plants, but I am sure that wont be long. Good thing we got lots :D I wish youcould explain to them to wait until the plant is bigger, it is much easier to share at that point. Oh well.
Anyway, it ended up being cheaper to buy flats of 6 plants than just single plants, so I mostly did that so now we have enough to share with Alan's parents.
I am also going to be preparing an herb garden. This year we're going to actually put the herb garden in the garden bed, so this means getting rid of our enemy crawly plant number 1. At least partly so we can put the herbs in and it means reseeding the lawn part that had disappeared thanks to crawly plant #1. However, seen as though I also want to plant thyme next to the veggie garden I am going to be ripping out a whole bunch of crawly plant #2 as well.
Yesterday I planted 8 more carrot seeds next to the soaker hose. We are trying to stagger the carrots so they aren't all ready at the same time. For now we are placing sticks after the last seeds so we know where we stopped. This is until the carrots come up and we can see their leaves. As long as nobody moves the sticks it should work well I think. (thanks Alan :D)
Yesterday I noticed two of poppa's beans poking their heads above ground. Clearly the germination in paper towel works really well and I think we should do that for all future beans and perhaps try it for peas as well.
I am going to find out about the herbs I bought, see what their growing needs are and make sure they get placed in their proper spots. When I have learned more I will post the information.
