We went to both gardens last night and planted seeds like mad!
Davin and I planted in the Millwoods plot: Parsnips; Davin’s 4 sq ft of: 1. Purple Haze Carrots 2. Romaine Lettuce 3. Early Wonder Beets and 4. White cucumbers! He helped out with the first square, but didn’t want to help with the other 3 saying ‘oh, well we planted lettuce at school, so I already know how to do that and don’t want to do it again!’. He was intrigued that you could make beets into purple pickles and the white cucumbers into white ones! He also didn’t want to have Darren’s squares right next to his own. I didn’t tell him that Darren doesn’t have -specific- squares of his own 
In the Camrose plot we planted: Parsnips, Pumpkins, Zucchini, Vegetable Marrow, corn, and sunflowers. Darren got some mesh cut and put on the frames too. We brought along the potatoes and sweet potatoes but ran out of daylight to plant them.
I made seed tape for the parsnips and carrots! I used 2 ply toilet paper and an UHU glue stick and the seeds with my spacing guides. It worked pretty well, was a bit finicky to not rip the paper when applying the glue (don’t let the glue sit uncapped for more than a minute or it sticks too much and rips the paper). I put a swipe of glue where each seed was to go, dropped on the seed and folded over the the paper. for a 3 square length (about 1 foot) of paper I got 2 strips from it. I cut the strip in half lengthwise, and folded it across the short-edge. I’ll take some pictures of it later today. I’ll be making lots of seed tape this winter as it makes planting much faster.
The peppers and tomatoes at the Camrose plot looked pretty unhappy last night. Apparently there was a stiff wind for 2 days straight from the south, so they are pretty wind-burned. Hopefully they survive that. The peppers had been mostly coverd, but the tomatoes – not so much. If they don’t make it, we’ll get transplants and seed again!
We’ll be picking up strawberries on saturday for planting out on sunday at the Camrose plot.
Well written article.
