Planting the First Seeds
We began planting the first seeds of fall today. We planted a bunch of beets, carrots, and romaine lettuce, which are all good plants to grow over the fall season because they do not mind the cooling temperature.
To plant these seeds you have to make sure that you are leaving enough distance between them so that the vegetables have room to grow. If they end up being to close to one another we will have to take some of them out to let the others grow, this is called thinning. We used rulers as you see in the picture above to let us know how far apart these seeds need to be.
We also have to keep track of when we plant them and how many days they "should" be done, it does not necessarily mean that they will be done. Usually on the package of the seeds it will tell you this information.
During all of this I ended up saving a women in the garden who had fallen and had caught her shoe in one of her pepper plant's fencing. I was glad I was there to help her or she would have been on the ground for a lot longer than what was good for her. She was very thankful and I was happy to help! (Way to be a hero! Yay!) You never know when you might be needed to help someone in need! =D
After planting we watered them and I continued mending the soil for my plot. I am not going to be planting just yet mostly because the people who own the plot next to mine have tomato plants that are stretching over their boundaries and blocking the sun for an entire row on my plot! It is kind of aggravating, but there is nothing to be done about it until their tomatoes' season are up.
Once I am able to plant vegetables on the plot I9 I will begin planting more romaine lettuce and beets. I am debating whether or not to do broccoli because of how big the plant is.

If any of you who are reading my blog have any tips or statements about this please let me know. I am still new to all of this and I know very little about gardening any help would be great!
