Texokie Congratulations- on your fitness, and all those gardening milestones too.

I have a link on crop roots depth and heights and interplanting, that some may be interested in:

I have taken a turn around the perimeter of our little acre today. We are at 60 degrees today, and really nice sunshine. Was able to turn off the heaters. I am collecting the various pots and containers, and planning which ones will look the best and grow the best sitting on top of the retainer wall.

I checked out the stuff in the bottom of my composter. It is beautiful dark, and smells great. Still has some pieces of egg shells, but that won’t hurt anything.

I just came in for a bit to refresh my memory on interplanting and root depth, so I gotta go and get some work done. I am going to put some bags of potting soil over one of the beds to kill some weeds, and maybe plant some spinach, lettuce, carrots and onions outdoors.

There are a lot of sunny spots that will be shaded later when the leaves come out on the trees, so it’s a good place for lettuce. Will keep it cooler and growing longer without bolting.
