Week 31 - Bed PC4

The bed has filled out and is dominated by lettuces ...

... which we have been harvesting but not quickly enough. They need to be thinned and harvested to provide space for the other plants.

The onions are growing but are not nearly as large as the ones with more space in the other beds. The lack of additional fertility will also be an issue as onions do not compete well with other plants. This is an issue with this type of planting.

The Scorzonera look healthy ...

... as do some of the lettuce varieties.

The feathery leaves of the dill plant look well mixed in with the other leaves.

The carrots are small. Some of them are delicious and other are fairly bitter. This is likely due to the stunting caused by lack of space, water and nutrients.
