. . "it???s been twelve days since i planted all the seeds i wanted and the results so far are mixed. shallots, chard, and other greens seem to have sprouted well and are off to a nice start. beets are a little spotty, but not too bad; i think we???ll end up with as many of those as we need. okra, carrots, and parsnips are a wash???i dunno what happened but the showing isn???t very good. same for green" . .
