Salad Box Week 2- What got planted?

The Salad Box


Starting at the top, from left to right:

Row 1
Red Onions- I planted these for my aunt pretty much exclusively- I'm not an onion fan. Though I suppose they'll work well if I need to season anything.
Serge Peas- Again for my aunt- I prefer snow peas (I like to eat the pod) and she prefers shelled, so I planted this variety for her
Seeds of Change Snow Pea- For me! Yum!
Cheddar Hybrid Cauliflower- not in the ground yet.

Row 2
French Breakfast Radish and Red Core Chantenay Carrot- interplanted because I like the instant gratification of radishes though I don't think I like the taste- I'll be trying them AGAIN since you should try things every few years as your tastes change.
Mixed Mustard Greens (not seeded yet)
Lettuce Blend- Salads!
Detroit Dark Red Beet- For the aunt. I don't like beets- they taste like soil.

Row 3
Rainbow Carrot Blend- We'll see what kind of deformed carrots we end up with due to the shallowness of the box.. but I'm excited at the prospect of colorful carrots.
Mixed Mustard Greens- For my aunt- I don't know if I like them yet! We'll see when they get big.
Lettuce Mix (not seeded yet)
Laurentian Rutabega (or swede for you Europeans)- I haven't tried Rutabega in a long time but I remember liking it once when I was little, so we'll see. Experimental, but hopefully will be yummy.

Row 4
Red Onions- I planted these for my aunt pretty much exclusively- I'm not an onion fan. Though I suppose they'll work well if I need to season anything.
Serge Peas- Again for my aunt- I prefer snow peas (I like to eat the pod) and she prefers shelled, so I planted this variety for her
