Planting Chard, Carrots and Lettuce

I planted on a day when we expected rain. 
Well, the rain never arrived.  So today, I watered this first bed of 140 feet.  Last year this bed held potatoes, but in practicing crop rotation, I have put the potatoes far away in hopes of deterring pests and disease.

At the top of the bed, is lettuce mix under some shade that will be picked at the end of June.  While in the middle you will find carrots, they may be ready in the beginning of July.  The chard will be ready in late June or early July.  Most of my planting has been started in the greenhouse, more about that later.
