Something Will Turnip so Kale Me

Sunday I started 144 turnip seeds and 144 kale seeds. They've begun to sprout. I was worried about that, this being the first time I've tried something this big. The biggest planting I've done before was 24 tomatoes. 

I'm going to start some collards and mustard this week. I may direct seed some cabbage, too. I may see if I can get some cabbage sprouts at Lavendar Mtn. Hardware, that's where I get my seeds and sprouts in Rome. Buying sprouts depends on the filthy lucre. I feel like it could be a good fall planting.

The garden can take 20 rows at 18" spacing. I'm putting in 2 rows of garlic, a row of turnips (90 at 6" spacing), a row of kale, a row of collards, a row of mustard, a row of cabbage, and some swiss chard. Some other possibilities are carrots, rutabagas, brussel sprouts, radishes, and who knows what else. I may just plant half the garden and let the remainder rest until spring.
