Far-flung seeds

Today was another early start, Kento waking at six again. After watching the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony, I set about sowing some of the seeds I bought over the weekend. Most of the translating was done once back.
From left to right:
- Spinach, orai (all right) a hybrid produced in Denmark
- Kohlrabi, Grand Duke from Italy*
- Beetroot, a Detroit variety, surprisingly produced here
- Carrot, shinkuroda (new dark?) from South Africa
One of many reasons why seed exchanges are proving so popular. Funny how the exotic Japanese varieties are grown overseas.
Typhoon Usagi weakened into a tropical storm and gave the garden a good watering instead of a battering. Thunderstorms and 30°C+ temperatures are forecast everyday for the next week. We have just had a quick blast of rain, so I’m hoping this pattern continues and the seeds get off to a decent start.
*The white sticker says something like along the line of “sorry if they don’t germinate”.
