Radishes and chard getting first true leaves. Toy Choi, dill, and a ton of volunteer cilantro are well up.

Onion seed & leek seed didn’t make it; but the transplants and sets are doing well, as are the shallots and garlic.

Carrots are sprouting under their light mulch

Had volunteer leaf lettuce in tonight’s salad.

Too wet to put the corn & beans in yet. Never pre-started corn, though I regularly transplant thinnings...or do you mean your corn is permanently grown in containers?

Some of our seeds didn’t make it, either. I don’t know what went wrong. The only edible volunteers that we have in our garden are chives, mint and various weeds.

This corn is designed to be grown in containers.

Marcella discovered it. I’ve never previously grown corn, nor did I ever think that I would, but this seemed like a fun change of pace.
