Where to find Peat Pots for starting and transplanting seeds
Growing your seedlings in Peat Pots
Wow! I have all these seeds started and went out to my garden shed to find I have run out of peat pots
I have spent the better part of this morning calling every store I can think of in our area to see if anyone has pots…..no luck absolutely everyone is sold out! I guess with this Covid-19 the time as come that more people are realizing they can grow there own food. I think this is fabulous, but holy moly do I need pots.
One of the stores would said they would order them for me if I can’t find any, when I called back and placed the order all was good until I got a call back saying the order would not be in until mid May early June. I can’t wait that long It’s April 24th today! Now what?

From protective row covers

Extending the growing season where I live is something that has to be done without it some crops would never get to harvest.
Some ways to extend your growing season are by using row covers, cold frames and greenhouses are a few ways to go, but your can also use permanent protection like trees.
What type of protection does your garden need?
If your garden is in an open area that is not protected from wind the soil will dry out fast and it has no natural protection from the cold.
A hedge of spruce trees 4’ or so away from the garden can be enough to increase the air temperature by a couple degrees Celsius.
Two rows of snow fencing about 60 feet apart will do the same thing.
Preserving Garlic Scapes
Garlic Scapes
I started growing Garlic several years ago, but never really knew what to do with the Scapes, to be totally honest I didn’t even know I was supposed to cut them off the Garlic Plant……that might have had something to do with the poor crops I was producing.
