Carrots, Radish, Lettuce, and Beets planted – 2/6/2025

2 Replies

I planted carrots, radish, lettuce, and beets in the 2 new raised beds.

The tomatoes I planted from seed are taking off and growing quickly now.  I planted these 1/7, which is probably too early.  I transplanted the tiny seedlings before they grew their true leaves into larger cups with holes poked in the bottom.  They are under led grow lights that stay on 16 hours per day.  I water with a weak fertilizer solution from the bottom.

The snap peas, carrots, turnips, radish, beets, and lettuce have all sprouted now too. Continue reading →
