First Planting Ready to Go

I bought Premier Pro-Mix last week at Jessica's Garden.  It is a growing medium with peat compacted by 1/3.  You add water to the organic "soil" to reconstitute it. We drove to Salem Herbfarm this afternoon down Rt. 2 and Rt. 11 to Witch's Mountain Road exit.  They had Romaine lettuce, spinach, and bok choy in the greenhouse.  They will need to be hardened off in the garage with the door open for a few days. The chard was not ready to leave the heated greenhouse so I will need to go back in a couple weeks. I also bought some herbs: rosemary, sage, curly parsley, and for Reid, Mojito mint.  Couldn't resist the yellow and purple pansies to add to the planter boxes with the veggies and herbs. Tomorrow should be less windy and a lower chance of rain.  We had rain showers twice today.
