Time to start a list of successes verses failures.  I’ll begin with the successess.

• Sweet Peas, planted from seed, directly in the garden.  They’ve been just gorgeous this year.
• Kohlrabi, purchased as starts from Cenex in a 2 by 4 inch pot
• Swiss Chard, Bright Lights – also purchased as starts like above.  There were soooo many in that little pot!  Great economical way to get them and they transplanted very well.
• Savoy Cabbage – Haven’t had any yet but they look like they are growing well.  Purchased them as starts and there were lots of them to transplant, way more than I need most likely.
• Shallots – Not sure what to say here.  The bulb sets grew very well and divided many times.  Problem is, I planted them in small pots so they didn’t have enough space to really grow.  Not sure how they will turn out in the end.
• Tomatoes, purchased as started plants in various sizes.  The started plants seem to do a whole lot better than the newly seeded ones.  The issue most likely is time.  Got to get a head start on them next year and be sure to keep them growing.
• Leeks, purchased as starts in a 2 x 4 inch pot.  There were 100’s in there.  Way more than anyone could possibly want.  They seem to be coming along fine.
• Celery and celeriac – purchased as starts but there were only 4 – 6 plants in each pot.  They seem to be growing well, and how many could I possibly need anyway.
