Week 15 - Bed DD6 Planting

We finished cultivating this double dug bed down to a fine seedbed and sowed (listed from north to south):

• Swiss Chard (grid of stations covering 20% of bed) - dark green leaved variety with broad white ribs
• Rhubarb Chard (grid of stations covering 20% of bed) - rich ruby-red leaf stalks and dark green/purple foliage
• Barbietola di Chioggia Beetroot (grid of stations covering 25% of bed) - a mild-flavoured italian, pink skin variety with white flesh and pink rings
• Storuman Beetroot (grid of stations covering 35% of bed) - a fast growing globe variety, which can be used as both summer and main-crop

These are the same varieties as were planted on the same day in long rows in bed EX5, rather than in a grid covering the whole of this bed.
