Raised beds, check. Dirt, check. Plants and seeds, check. Time to plant!
Sunday was planting day at the plot. I decided to plant some veggies from seeds and because Oregon is just so cold and wet, some from starts I picked up from the plant market. The first bed has two cucumber mounds from seeds, a spot reserved for jalapeno and tomato starts, then a row of okra from seeds, two rows of bush green beans and a row of peas.
Bed #2 includes spinach from starts, a row of arugula from seeds, then leaf lettuce from seeds, onions from seeds, two clumps of shallot starts and finally four strawberry starts. (I definitely need to plant more strawberries.) The lettuce should come up pretty quick and once it gets too hot for the green leafy stuff, I can plant more peppers or just a whole bed of flowers until the weather cools enough again this fall to put more lettuce back in. 
Michelle and Linda discuss slug prevention tactics. Oh, and deer prevention tactics. Behold, our first scarecrow!
Now grow little plants! Grow!

Gayle: It looks fabulous! I'm so proud of you! :) As far as the lettuce... I grow it all through the summer, not just in the beginning and the end. Just plant it in waves so you always have some good heads growing! Happy growing!
