Death to Chard, Seeding for Summer

Night before last I yanked out all the chard to let the carrots underneath grow. Poor things are several months old and the one I pulled out by accident was less than an inch long. He didn't go to waste though...and he was delicious. Hopefully the rest will be just as tasty when they're full size.

I started some seeds in a flat this afternoon, mostly to tuck in around my tomatoes, but I'm getting anxious to pull out the favas and nasturtiums, so I put in a handful of squash and melon seeds so that they can go in the ground in the next couple weeks. I'm always bad at keeping track of which seeds I put in which cell, so here's the layout:



You may notice an Ancho/Poblano, Golden Wonder, and an Anaheim pepper in the grid. Unfortunately these didn't make the transition into the tomato bed very well so here's try #2. I also put in three cells of Dulcetta peppers. If these are as good as the little mini sweet peppers from Costco, I'm going to wish I'd planted lots. Better to plant too many than be sorry later :)
