Hi Folks,
Last season we had a huge harvest from the garden, but the weeds got away from us and made the garden look ugly. We also ran out of time and energy getting things planted on time while doing other homesteading things, as well.
We are beginning the season earlier this year, and we have corrected the things that caused problems with seed germination in our first season here, last Spring. We won't be late planting some things out this year! We also have adult son and daughter working along side us this year.
We planted 4 flats yesterday of cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower, along with the tomatoes and some of the peppers. We will finish planting today with a few more flats.
The tom and pepper flats are upstairs on a heat mat where they will be quite warm, and the cole crops are in the basement on heat mats at about 7o degrees.
I am using Black Gold CoCo Blend and Fox farm Seedling Mix for planting this year, after using the awful bagged soil locally available. The cost of the better potting soil is well worth it in my book.
More to come! Come back to visit during the year!
