Today I cleared Bed # 3. Found some small potatoes and small onions as I turned the soil. Spread some compost from the compost heap and worked in some fertilizer. Planted a bit of Swiss Chard, some Touchon carrots, and Bloomsdale Long Standing and Giant Noble spinach.

I sprinkled on the seed and then topped it with a bit of sawdust. After that I tamped the soil down with a board, watered the seeds in and the covered the carrot area with the board. I am going to see if the seeds will sprout better in this August heat if they are WELL covered. The rest of the bed got a sprinkling of straw.
