Planting root crops in the moon's 3rd quarter

Busy day.  Last day of the 3rd quarter, so I had to get those root crops in.

     I didn't have a picture of the Kennebec potatoes or the white onion sets, which I bought in bulk, nor of the radish seed, which was saved from last year's radishes.
     The map below shows where things were planted, except for the radishes.  There is one row of radishes in Wyoming and one in Colorado, in the middle between the 2 rows of potatoes.  The radishes will be harvested before the potatoes get very big.  The blank spots either have already been planted, as the peas in western Iowa and the perennials in northern Wyoming, or are areas yet to be planted.
  
     Rain predicted for tomorrow.  If it doesn't rain, I'll have to water.

Planting on 12 April, 2012

 

     In other news, the chickens took a well deserved rest, laying only 5 eggs today, after their marathon performance of 9 eggs yesterday.
