Let's see how the Squash and Carrot seed we planted in our organic garden are doing.

Seed Germination

The Squash seeds have popped through.  I'll keep them moist with a light mixture of VermaPlex/water, about 1:80.




                                                 Looking good!

And...the Carrots....



Carrots are up.  The seed germination was just 3 days.  I'll wait a week or two to thin out.  The fine soil allowed the tiny seeds to push though with little effort.  One advantage to our sandy condtions. 

The Pure Black Castings applied at planting time will slow-release and provide nutrients for the little seedlings.  In two weeks, we'll apply another side dressing and start a spraying regime of 1:20 VermaPlex/water every two weeks (spraying in early morning). The soil is teeming with microbes, doing their thing.

Now, if we can just keep that big rabbit we spotted in the pasture out of the garden.
