Seedlings Popping Up
I haven't been blogging because I've been planting planting and more planting. The picnic table greenhouse is producing seedling at an alarming rate. I still fear and respect the early June frost so Ive only been planting frost resistant seedlings like broccoli , cabbage, and Seeds that shouldn't pop up until I'm well into June. I originally planned on a 30' X 60' garden. I'm gonna have to go bigger or kill some Innocent seedlings. hopefully in the next few days I'll start compiling my garden reading list. I've been able to temporarily keep the seedlings small by limiting the light they receive by doubling up the plastic and stacking the bricks higher for shade. I've pulled a couple of dozen seedlings out and replaced them on the table with cups with fresh seeds. every 5 days or so giving the removed plants more sun by moving them in and out of the garage .So hopefully I'll achieve a staggered harvest giving me more time to can , dry , and freeze my gardens goodness.
