      Yup, I was incorrect in calling them the same. We do have plenty of both around here!

      I have done a little cheat with garlic when I failed to get the cloves in the ground in the fall. I was able to get some heads with this method. They were a bit smaller but still nice. ua-cam.com/video/wk1NH-AxFy4/v-deo.htmlsi=DXI81KIqxXvEIJs7

      I tend to use Promix organic herb and veggie blend. It has a light fertilizer that will sustain the seedlings until transplanting

    Would you.. re use said milk jugs? Or is there concern about the plastics wearing down and breaking and absorbing into the plant/soil?

    • @frankie-lounelligan7050
      @frankie-lounelligan7050 11 днів тому

      I find that in zone 3 harsh conditions, the milk jugs become brittle after 1 use. I recycle them at that point. Water cooler bottles are far sturdier and can be reused a few times

      Without knowing the specifics of where you are, I'd suggest this. Find out when the normal planting dates are for your region and work back from there. If you don't face Chinook winds, you could wintersow hardy perennials now. Wintersow hardy veg and annuals 6-8 weeks before normal planting out date and tender veg and annuals 4-6 weeks before

    • @frankie-lounelligan7050
      @frankie-lounelligan7050 Місяць тому

      Scarlet Runners can cross pollination with other runner beans. I'm actually interested in seeing how a scarlet runner/purple peacock hybrid would turn out. The roots from the scarlet runners should produce true scarlet runners every year.
