Re: BarG 2013 grow log
I can take a crowbar and stick it in the ground as deep as needed so the tap root can go full depth. The perique looked even better, more woody with some real nice branchs. I want to make next years bed so when the plants are ready you can maybe just give em a tug and it comes out. And, I was thinking of using the #600 seed sifter screen to help distribute seed with some sand so they aren't bunched together. If you want x amount of plants put extra seeds for duds and replacements.
The greenhouse was great compared to without it, and for varietys with small amounts, but the seedbed would be much less labor if I'm doing a large quantity in a few varietys.
I'm 6-8 weeks ahead of last year workhorse but the last frost a week ago almost got me! It put some damage to some leaves but the plants were fine.
Those garden sprouts survived 3 frosts one was a pretty good one, killed off a lot of veggies.
That was a Ct. broadleaf Leverhead, I only need a few of those.
As far as I could tell the damage to the roots was minimal, They separated surprisingly easy. I only used the best ones for the most part. Use a shower setting on the hose nozzle and spray the dirt away and tease them apart. I have quite a few set a week or 2 ago with only 3-4" roots and they all survived and are taking off now. They are still far behind my greenhouse bursa but the perique are ahead of the greenhouse perique. Go figure, I think I had to adjust my medium and restart the perique, they were slower to germinate.
