First seeds planted

March 15th was my first planting in peat discs.  I planted the following:

  • Gardeners Delight tomato.  I'm interested to see what I really have.  I ordered organic on Amazon and to my surprise, the packet says determinate.  Former plantings of this variety resulted in indeterminate.  I hope the packet is wrong!
  • Giant Noble spinach
  • Swiss chard
  • Mache
  • Broccoli
  • Lettuce
     I have beans and peas to plant.  I haven't made up my mind whether to sow in modules or directly in ground.  It is still rather cold.  Last Tuesday night Pittsburgh area got 8" of snow!  Today is very windy.  I went out in the garden to imagine what will go where.  Particularly the pots and containers.  I always rotate plantings and so eventually everyone ends up in a container.
     We have a couple of projects we must do this year on and around the house that need to be scheduled.
