Spring Planting

We've had a really cold spring and so we are about a month behind planting...but we finally got started on Friday.

April 17 We planted:
100 Red Onions (1.59 a bag of 100 G.Seed Store)
400 Yellow Onions
We would have planted some sweet onions, but they were not available this year.
Chard-4 feet
Lettuce-salad blend-12 feet
Broccoli (new this year-15 feet
Cabbage (new this year)-8 feet
Early Frosty Peas-2 long rows
Sugar Pod Peas-3/4 short row
Radishes-mixed in with some of the lettuce
Carrots-2 varieties...Nantes and a new one that is round like radishes.-1 long row
Red potatoes

The ground was pretty moist from all the snow and rain we've been getting, so we rotatilled the ground, sprinkles fertilizer where the rows were marked to go, furrowed a row, planted seeds, buried and packed down with a rake.

Onions:
We were able to plant about 100 in a small row. We planted them 3-4 inches deep and 3 inches apart.
We leave 30 in between rows to allow for easy rotatilling and because we have a huge garden space, so we can allow for walkways.

Chard...I don't like the stuff, but my dad does. It plants like lettuce.
Lettuce...1/2 inch deep, fairly thick seed
Carrots...1/2 inch deep, fairly thick seed
Peas...1 inch deep, seed 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart
Broccoli...1 inch deep, seed 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart
Cabbage...1 inch deep, seed 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart
Potatoes Cut potato seed so that one good eye is on each part. Plant 4 inches deep, 1 foot apart.
