New plantings - part one

So I have had some time this Sunday to put in some more of my garden.  Here is bed one.  As you can see I had already planed a row of red and white onions.  Between the two rows of onions are carrot seeds.  They are orange, red, yellow, white and purple mix I bought off eBay.  In the past I have had mixed results with eBay and seeds so check the feedback and make sure it is positive.  On the other side of the 1/2 black plastic hose is another two rows of Georgia sweet onions.  They were picked up from Lowes in a bunch of 60.  I have used 23.  Off to the right in the center is 3 rows of sugar beets also from eBay.  Future plantings will include some celery and potatoes.  My initial plan was celerac but I am going to change those to container grown.  For the drip irrigation I put in a 90 degree spray head as individual drippers would be impractical.  The spray pattern is contained to about 7 inches outside the box.

Bed two already has a row of peas and three brussel sprout plants.  On the other side there are two rows of yellow wax beans planted.  A 180 degree spray was installed for the yellow wax beans and a strip spray for the peas.  Some more adjustment has to be done to the sprayer for the beans but that is for tomorrow night.
