Seed Starting For the Garden

Last minute seed starting rack. COVID-19 made my decision to grow a garden this year an easy one.






I might have to till a few more strips so I have space to plant everything. The ryegrass roots are so thick that I need to turn it all over with a shovel before I can use the rototiller on it. Otherwise the rototiller just rides along the surface of the ryegrass.  Running it in reverse/backwards gives me the most bite into the soil.  In order to break up the large chunks of sod I end up going over each strip 3 or 4 times.

I'll also need to repair the deer fence in a few spots.

Things to be direct seeded are:

Potatoes
Onion slips
Garlic
Radish
Lettuce
Spinach
Turnip Greens
Collard Greens
Peas
Beans
Corn
Squash/Pumpkin

Things started inside, under lights:

Lettuce
Basil
Lavender
Cilantro
Mustard Greens
Broccoli
Radish
Tomato
Peppers

There might be a few more varieties that I'm forgetting about.
