What also matters is the trajectory of the sun as the days get shorter again — some of my areas that were part shade are now full shade all day long — affects what I can plant at this time.
I can't presoak coated seeds can I?
I tried planting carrots last week, not sure if they'll sprout, but I checked a few times and I covered, like recommended, and the amount of rolly polies is INSANE. I'm hoping they didn't eat my seeds. Any tips to handle that? It's like an infestation
I've been waiting excitingly to plant beans! But i live in Antarctica and i'm still waiting for that last frost date! I think it will be soon though.
? Luke my raised beds have a webbed matting as I was loosening my soil. Starts about 2" down. Should I remove this before I so another planting? Plan to start some winter beds and will amend my soil again but now I'm not sure how to proceed. 😮😮 😮😮😮😮
How do you keep soil from compacting?
Yo da man!
How do I order seeds
Currently feels like 107, and I'm babying some yellow squash seedlings. Wish me luck!
Zone 8: Still waiting for the plants I planted inside in the spring to grow bigger. My container beans, peppers, cukes, pumpkins are about 5-6". A few tomatoes started to bloom. I think I'm only getting 2 zucchini off my plant… nights are in the 40's days are 80's-90's. I restarted stuff many times. We don't get rain in the summer.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
John 15:1-2 KJV
So envious of your soil even after 5 years of adding compost mine is light brown, dry cracked and somehow the clay comes to the top 🤦
"You always want to be growing something" 🙌
You answered a question that was really frustrating me. What happened is that I planted carrots and beets in a community garden bed I was given without loosening the soil. That was 77 days ago and the carrot tops are beets are tiny with no root growth on the carrots. I can see the soil is compacted/caked from Winter and then the heat. It's so compact I can't even pull out the little things to see how small they are, tops just rip off. Ugh. I guess I'll pull everything out, loosen it all up and try again. If I'm lucky I'll get some Fall carrots.
Days to maturity before first frost is one important factor. One I learned the hard is what your light levels are going to be. For me, the days progressively get shorter leading to that first frost date. Along with temps coming down, many things will just stunt and stop growing, and then die with or before the frost.
Especially because of my garden placement, my sunlight access is even more reduced. So it's a massive impact sadly.
So for me I gotta just go straight to the cold hardy crops.
Seems like the volume on this video
Did 3 plantings of beans, 2 in raised beds with old window screens across beds to keeps wandering neighborhood cats from using as a litter box and pole beans in the ground. They were growing nicely until the day i was to remove screens as they reached the top. A ground hog beat me to it. Knocked off the screens and ate off all the leaves..on every bed. I know it was a ground hog because i watched him standing on his hind legs with his back to me viewing the garden as i watched from upstairs window. Glad i grew and canned enough beans last year to last 2 years. You never know whether your harvest will be abundant, sparse or non existant.
I did the moist paper towel in a Rubbermaid with pole beans and corn. I left them for 24-36 hours. Once I saw them sprout I planted the ones that sprouted.
Right now I'm getting soooo much rain. I have a yard full of mushrooms.
Are there any seeds you shouldn't soak, how about carrots.
