The plan was to set seed, this weekend... and It is done, (excitedly doing the "HAPPY Dance" here...)
The seeds consists of....
1) *In Row A* Beets - Tall Top Early Wonder and Swiss Chard - Neon Lights...
2) * Row B* Carrots - Scarlet Nantes with Kaleidoscope Mix- and Lettuce Mix - Curly leaf & Oakleaf
3) * Row C* Radish - Sparkler and Onion - Evergreen bunching...
4) * Row D* Spinach - Teton Hybrid and Leek - American Flag

Will they sprout? Because of how hot it still is!
Will the pest get hold?
