The solarized area is now carrots. It got hot enough to cook some garlic bulbs. Probably killed a lot of the good soil biology, so I added a thin layer of good compost and watered it in. Having the ground be warm might help the carrots germinate. The water from the well is 40 degrees. Mix that with dirt that is still 80 degrees... it comes out about right. Now is the ideal time to plant carrots because they get to a nice size and good quality and then they can store in the ground overwinter. Same for beets.
