Preparing the winter garden

Last Wednesday (Aug 6), youngest and I started some seeds for our winter garden. We planted beets (32), carrots (64), and peas (30) directly in grow box containers; mizuna (20), cress (40), lettuce (80), kale (40), arugula (20), corn salad (20), cabbage (20) and choi (40) in miniature seed blocks. Everything has sprouted except the lettuce, cabbage, and corn salad. The greens sprouted within a couple of days; the peas, carrots and beets began to appear on Sunday. We transplanted most of what sprouted into 2" inch blocks on Sunday (started with 3/4" blocks).
