I refreshed the soil in the existing grow bag filled with strawberries and added two more grow bags (with a third on the to-do list). Instead only growing strawberries, half the cells (the bags are divided into quarters) are strawberries and the other half are cool-weather crops—radishes, lettuces, Little Shanghai bok choi.
The raised beds are now mostly planted, except for the peppers being hardened off: 1) tomatoes and swiss chard; and 2) peppers and swiss chard and summer squash and herbs (in a separate pot).
As of Memorial Day, I've harvested half a dozen radishes, and a few lettuce leaves. The bok choi, radishes, and lettuces were seeded every two weeks, and I think I'll do one more seeding of the bok choi now, and then another one in the fall. I've never grown bok choi before, regular or baby, so I had to look up the harvest instructions. Apparently it can be harvested by the leaf, start at the outside and working in, or as an entire head. I can do that!
