Gardening: Part II
July is the last call for gardeners who want to get seeds in the ground.
You may have thought that the time has passed to get some seeds into the soil. But you would be incorrect in that assumption. You still have time to plant some seeds, with a little extra care at planting. Beets, Bush Beans, Radishes, Carrots, Swiss Chard, Kale, Cucumbers, Kohlrabi and Corn can still be planted from seeds now thru the end of this month.
The extra care required is so very easy. Trench your rows for ease in seeding and moisten the seeds after you have placed them in the soil. Then instead of covering them with the soil you trenched, cover them instead with a moisture controlled potting soil mix to lightly cover your seeds. Then just water the mix lightly. This will assist your seeds in better germination. And you will still impress your family with fresh produce from your little plot of soil.
