We officially started our planting season! Last Saturday we started our very first round of seeds.
On top of the left bucket is the seed flat that we are using to start all of our seeds. We are planting in a 4:2:1 parts sawdust to sand to perlite.
First we mixed the sawdust, sand, and perlite together and added water to moisten it.
Next, we leveled the mixture and drew lines every 2 inches to mark where the rows will go.
Then we used a piece of wood to make our 1/4" deep rows. Sam wanted to take a picture of me to prove that I "actually helped." It is true he does most of the work but I really do try to help. The tiny human we created tends to take up a lot of my time and energy... but she was asleep so I was able to help :)
This is how it looked after I was done.
Then voila! Seeds are planted. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and 5 varieties of tomatoes.
We threw some burlap on top to prevent the seeds from getting disturbed while we water prior to germination.
Today we officially saw a few plants making their way through! Pictures to come. Plus, we will be planting more this weekend! Stay tuned!
