There is an onion set somewhere in there.</li> <li>Row 2 is garlic interplanted with a few Asian greens. It needs weeding and mulching.</li> <li>Row 3 is full of kale, chijimisai, bok choy, lettuce, and other leafy treats.</li> <li>Row 4 has the mammoth sunflowers and hopefully some snap peas. There are also some fiddlerkrauts there. I intend on planting more flowers.</li> </ul> <p>There is a mystery squash or cucumber at the west end of all of the rows.</p>
