RE: The First Seed Starting of 2020 – March 4, 2020 @goldenoakfarm
I have chronic Lyme disease and it's trashed my memory. This is how I remember things. it's a coping mechanism.
We are very sandy loam here. My husband sort of jokes that we have a 22 minute window between mud and dust. As a result, there's not enough consistent moisture for things to germinate.
And while some of these things do grow wild here, you'd be surprised at how little germinates from things I let go to seed.
I am not supposed to eat nightshades, so I don't grow a lot of them. :))
But mostly, it's because the gardens are only going to be at 1/3 size this year. Next year I should be back to full production.
I see, it makes sense and I'm glad you've found a system to make all work!
Re: your soil, it reminded me of my long gone grandfather. On a given morning when rain was pouring, he would dress up and go take the bus to his garden, 30 I'm away.
Why would you go out in the rain, I asked so many times? It may rain now, but I still have to water in the evening, he would reply with a smile!
