  • In today's video from the farm, we go along for a spring day--from trimming up the lavender field, to tips and tricks of tomato planting and zinnia sowing, to overwintered dahlias and soil health--this video has tidbits about many things at the farm!
    Spring is SUCH a busy time here at our backyard regenerative farm; we are getting ready to harvest peonies and simultaneously planting! Next week we are terminating cover crops, so stay tuned!

    Love the burlap idea! Also terrified to direct sow my floret seeds!

    Weird, I know but seeing your garden dirt hands while you chat is so comforting. I generally garden barefoot so I have the dirty feet going on with the dirty hands when I come in from chores.

    I'm excited to see update videos on ALL that you're growing! I couldn't justify the cost of the Floret seeds but I will live vicariously through your garden. Besides, I have my queen lime series to plant for the 1st time this season!! If you're planning on doing a harvest & cold storage of peonies I'd love to see that. I'm going to look for B. Interests blue grama seeds and try a small walkway between my raised beds. Thanks for sharing all your tips!

    I lucked out by finding a treasure trove of 1980s wooden grape boxes on Craigslist for $2 each, so my need for seedling trays is covered! I had to plant up my tomatoes into bigger pots a couple of weeks ago. We're well past our last frost date, but we haven't had warm enough soil temps to plant out. As for deep planting tomatoes, apparently it depends on soil temp. If you plant really deep in an area that doesn't get very warm summer temps, the stem and roots will suffer from being planted where the soil is much colder at depth. Planting sideways like you did is a better idea as the roots stay closer to the surface.

    Hey for zinnias, to avoid being eaten you can also place a netting over them until they are established. LOL yes I too get floret so completely understand. Just received more Dahlia seeds. BTW any other tips for growing I would appreciate. I have the Shooting Star Bee's choice and Petite florets. So excited!! Good look on your season this year!!!

    I direct seed my zinnias too but I couldn't help but to start my ones from Floret indoors. I'm scared to plant them out because the cut worms are wreaking havoc in my gardens this year. But I saw your tip (I used TP rolls cut up) and so far it's working beautifully!

      What are cutworms? Something ate all my Floret Zinnia seedlings.I'm still trying to figure out what it was.😢

      @@schoolbeginsaftercoffee4759 if they were eaten it was probably wasn't cut worms. They literally cut your seedlings down at soil level. I took the cardboard inserts from toilet paper and paper towel rolls cut into one inch rings and put them around the stuff I am most worried about. I can't do it with everything but for my Floret seeds and other stuff I am super excited about i take the time to do it. I'm going to try her burlap tip too though on my sunflowers because they are getting eaten as soon as they come up.... probably by earwigs, caterpillars or pill bugs
