my thoughts on my spring garden so far

not much in my container garden is doing well....
the bok choi from seed is doing ok...but the ones in the raised beds are much MUCH better....
same with the kohlrabi and kale...both are doing a smidgen better in the raised beds....I wonder if it's because we have been so unseasonably warm this spring that my spring garden thinks its summer..
the lettuce is barely ok....but the seedlings planted at the same time in the raised beds are nearly twice the size..
spring mix and arugula in the containers have barely progressed at all
I think the leeks appear to be making some slow progress in containers
my potatoes are planted in 2 trash cans and a grow bag and I am extremely pleased with how well they are growing!
raised beds are doing better
radishes seem to be doing pretty well...I picked a few this weekend to send home with my dear mil
as I said before, the lettuce is going great....I've already harvested and sent home some with my investors! :) I was also very disciplined in thinning out the seedlings...it didnt hurt too bad!
cabbage seedlings seem to be doing well
I doubt my broccoli will be ready for harvest when I need to pull it up to make room for tomatoes or peppers
spinach is starting to germinate...and I've heard mixed reviews about how well it does in  warm weather, so I dont have extremely high hopes...
some of my carrots have germinated...we'll see...same with onions both white and green...never grown those before, so I dont know if they are doing well or not
I am following what my week by week handbook says that I could go ahead and plant bush beans....so I planted 2 rows of bush beans called dragon tongue that takes 100 days to harvest and 3 or 4 rows of beans from previous years....with a note to check in 7-14 days just in case they dont take. we'll see.
as a foray into companion planting in the hopes of helping ward off bad bugs, I have also planted marigolds  and petunias around the beans to help with the mexican bean beetles and nasturtiums around where I will plant squash to help with squash bugs. and flowers are pretty and it will make jack happy....and supposedly nasturtiums are yummy in salads, I wonder if my family will eat flowery salads.
