More Root Veggies in the Ground

I came home from a long day at the office and discovered that Andrew had been busy in the garden.  The summer tomato bed was cleaned out and ready for the next round of plantings.  The last of the sungold cherry tomatoes (green as well as ripe) had been harvested and were piled on the kitchen counter.  The heavy-duty tomato support system had been removed.  In its place, the structure to support our row covers.  Man, he's handy to have around!  All I had to do was plant the seeds, then cover the bed with Agribon + (insect barrier fabric) we bought from Johnny's.  I've had it with bugs!

I planted three 12' rows ... one row of radishes, one row of carrots, and one row of beets  ... in these varieties:

Small Tricolored Easter Egg Radish
     30 days to maturation
Shunkyo Semi-Long Radish
     32 days to maturation
Red Ace, Round Red Beet
     50 days to maturation
Purple Haze Carrot
     73 days to maturation
