We planted more squares of lettuce, spinach and salad mix again last Monday and then I did the same thing last night. The small rectangle boxes that you see are the marigolds. This way we can move them as we need to if the bugs decide to show up. We usually have to pull out pine needles that have fallen in and the little pods (pollen comes from them) that fall in too. But it takes all of 5 minutes to do that and make sure that it doesn't get to acidic. The first spinach is getting pretty big and I can't wait till we get a night of salads from the first thinning!The stakes are to help brace the boards, so the dirt weight doesn't push outward. I was going to use them with the yarn and have a grid but I ended up using the bamboo instead.

Looks good! (Except for the posts. What are they for again???)
Nice idea with the marigolds. I just plants lots of them and nasturtiums (heavy on the nasturtiums since we can eat both flower and leaves on those!). :)
