lettuce & more spinach

Added some Erste Ernte and Bloomsdale last night.

Also added 12 lettuces. Most of them new red lettuces for this year, but also finished off a bunch of old seed. Don't expect much germination from those.

Tonight--carrots (25 varieties).

Now if we can get the big storm projected for Friday, I won't have to water any of this in.

I can hope can't I?
