Various Seeds Planted

Today I planted various seeds in the bed #1 (refer map).

Specifically I planted the following:
* Capsicum
* Strawberry
* Chives
* Dill
* Basil

I'm using a technique that seems to have helped germinate the cherry tomatoes. After popping the seeds into the ground and watering well, I covered the area with plastic wrap - the standard food type. This should help keep the moisture in and allow me to see if/when the seeds germinate.

Planted Tomato Seedlings for 2008/2009

Today I planted tomato seedlings for the summer season of 2008/2009. I put in 20 tomato seedlings. Here's a rough plan of the tomato plants in bed #2 (refer map).

Actually, this year I'm experimenting with sowing the "Big Cherry" plants directly from seed in the soil. The seeds were saved from fruit from a very productive plant from a couple of years ago. If they don't sprout "in situ", I'll probably replace them with seedlings raised separately.

All seedlings were purchased from the nursery section of my local hardware store.

I also sowed two groups of basil seeds at each end of the space between rows B and C.
