Thank you for the comment.
The seeds are fresh, I just bought today. Seed instructions is to soak them overnight which is 8-10 hrs to soften up to germinate faster.
I have some soaking now on heat matt at 95° & more soaking at room temp & only going to soak them 10 hrs. I really don't think it's...
I will keep everyone informed on how it goes. I'm doing another soak without the heat matt just pour hot water on & soak without heat matt.
It's supposed to soften the seeds to make them germinate faster.
I have searched for hours don't see anything about maintaining 110°.
Just pour hot water on and let it soak. My seed pack says pour warm water into the seeds soak over night. I have mine soaking at 90° on heat matt. Not sure if that's ok, but I will find out.
I will just let it be 90° for 24 hrs.
I've searched internet, can't find anything particularly other than pour hot water on them, soak for 24 hrs.
Doesn't really say keep temp 110° through entire soak.
Problem solved.
Im pretty sure im not the only one that have done this. But any recommendations on how to keep parsely seed 110°F for 24 hrs.
I have them on heat matt but 90° is the best I can do with that.
Thank you for any feedback.
Still have lots of green beans, peas, pickles, garlic I'm still eating from my garden.
Hope I put this message in right place. Sometimes I'm looking at current post scrolling down reading not realizing I scrolled down to older post liking something that was posted a year ago. But guess that's ok...
Last season I planted peas in early spring followed by green beans, then green beans again planted in mid August. Seemed to work out with decent size crops. Will be moving to fresh new bed this season.
Not really sure how to word this.
Just wondering if it's possible to rotate plant family crops from one bed to another each year, while succession planting same crops in each bed year after year.
Confusion?
Im thinking it's ok.
Thanks for the comment, I've read some people never rotate, some rotate only when they want to and some say you should always rotate every year to limit the build-up of pest. Also wanted to add some cabage with the collard greens, but read you can't grow cabage with collard greens. A lot to...
I'm back,
Haven't been on here in a while.
Looking for a rotation plan for my vegtables I will be growing I have listed. Or any suggestions on crops to add to my list. Still new to this but think I'm close. I'm keeping fruit crops in pots for now cause my tomatoes need evening shade from to...
That was my plan follow the peas with green beans. I have three beds, one, two, three. There is a different plant family in each bed. The three plant families will rotate clockwise from bed to bed each year, if thats what you're talking about.
Trying to come up with a 4'X8' three bed crop rotation plan, by plant family for next spring
Bed 1:
peas
green beans
Bed 2:
cabage
collard greens
Lettuce
Bed 3:
Onions
garlic
Carrots
I'm leaving the fruit crop out of rotation for now because only have three beds.
My tomatoes, peppers...
I harvested two times this summer, flowered again in August, will get a few more it looks like before frost.
Size of peppers are 1-1/2" X 1" now.
Estimated 1st frost in about 4-6 weeks. Been moving potted pepper plants from outside to inside garage when below 70° outside at night, move back...
The three options is:
Onion seeds
Onion sets
Onion starts
I believe you're saying 10/15 is started from onion seed.
The spring plant is started from onion starts.
