Planting Cabbage Starters, Harvest

Although there's a relatively lengthy list of things to do, we didn't have much time at the plot this afternoon; it was getting too close to Baby Girl's bedtime.  We prioritized and planted some new cabbage starters that we had purchased from the local MOM's.  In the chance that we would be purchasing some sort of fall plant starters, I had planned ahead and brought the leftovers of a bag of peat moss and two more of the faux terra cotta pots our neighbor had given us a few months back.

Once the four of us arrived at the plot, I put a mix of compost from our compost bin (finally breaking down nicely) and the peat moss in the two pots then planted a starter in each pot.  I also planted the last Brussels sprout starter that was leftover from when I planted those.  I removed the last ground cherry and one of the two marigolds in that box and planted two of the cabbage starters in there as well.  Unfortunately, one of the cabbage starters is still homeless.

The last chores to be done were that I watered while Wifey and The Boy harvested stuff.
The total:
  • 2 lbs 6.4 oz Tomatoes
  • 2 gr peppers (2" long 1.5" wide)
  • 2 radishes at 0.5 oz
  • 4.1 oz green beans
  • 0.8 oz cayenne peppers
  • 2.4 oz carrots
  • 10 ground cherries
