Feelin' like a farmer!

I finally got to plant our "fall crop" today!  I decided to use a mixture of 3 parts Miracle-Gro potting mix to 1 part perlite.  Feeling pretty excited about it, but now that the seeds are planted, I have to be patient and let them sprout, etc.  I used a little bit of soluble plant food to help get them started.  That's going to be the hard part...

 

This year we planted American spinach, dragon carrots, and scarlet nantes carrots.  All the seeds were bought from SeedSaverExchange.org.

Hopefully something will sprout in the next two weeks.
