First signs of life

As soon as we heard that we had gotten the plot, i made a quick trip to the store to buy some seed.  It was already pretty late in the year for fall veggies, but I was willing to take the risk with some quick maturing greens like mache and spinach, both of which overwinter well here.  I also grabbed some radishes, although i doubt the roots will fatten up with the amount of sunlight this time of year.  These are all non-tried and non-true supermarket varieties,  but I had nothing to lose!  We were blessed with an unseasonally warm weekend which was followed by rain.  This led to pretty quick germination of everything we planted.  I also stopped by and bought some row cover to buy a couple of weeks of time.
