Started three kinds of lettuce, and turnips, in the kitchen door bed.
I don't normally grow these -- and have never tried growing turnips -- but had the seeds (from the "Survival Seeds" kit of a few years ago, ironically enough) so figured why not, some fast-growing fresh food to help avoid trips to the grocery store during this pandemic.
The hopes is it will grow to harvestable size by the time I need the bed for the zucchinis.
--> 12 July 2020 update: Yes, this worked great!
Although, even when it's time to put the zucchinis in, the zukes will be so small that only a small number of the lettuce/turnips would need to be removed, at first.
--> 12 July 2020 update: Yes! That's what I did, removed only as needed to transplant the zukes, then gradual removal/harvest of lettuce as zucchinis grew. Left a few of each variety to go to seed for seed collection.
