We’ll have a series of seed starts this spring. Every two weeks starting in mid January we’ll start seeds for transplants. These will be replanted in the garden about 6 weeks after planting. The first couple of seed starts will be strictly cold weather crops such as broccoli, cabbages, and leeks. We’ll transition into warm weather seedlings in mid February – tomato, peppers, eggplant – and move these into the garden starting in late March. Here’s a look at our first seed starts from about 3 weeks ago.
Organizing the seeds. We plant only non-GMO seeds and almost all are heritage seeds.
Filling seed trays with our custom starter soil mix
Young men filling more trays! We had 14 total on this first start.
14 trays with about 50 cells average per tray – about 700 seedlings expected from this first of many seed starts for 2014.
Team work in every facet of farming.
