Seeds started

Here is our mini greenhouse with the seeds planted

Carrots form last year

Carrots that were left to over winter.





The leaf mulch definitely helped this year the carrots fared much better this year. We left a few carrots in the ground so they go to seed. This will be the first time we have tried to save carrot seed.

DIY Seed tape

I have seen seed tape in the stores and thought that it would be a good way to keep rows evenly spaced. The seeds on the store bought tapes are of unknown quality and origin so we have made our own. There are dozens of instructions online on how to do this and this is our take on it. We used news paper cut into strips and “glued” the seeds on with flour and water paste.
