Garden time is coming

Plastic organic?

Honestly I wouldn't have thought it was such a bad thing, but plastics in our consumption chains are a plague.

Anyway, 55 minute vid from a true organic grower who does it the real way:

Hugh Kent | How The USDA Supports Bad Agriculture | 167 - Organic Consumers

April 17, 2024 | Source: YouTube | by Real Organic Project 167: Dave Chapman visits Real Organic blueberry farmer Hugh Kent at his biodiverse King Grove Farm in central Florida, to discuss the takeover of the US

And just another example of how government bureaucracies (USDA) are lying liars and cheating cheaters.

@Jimi , have you started anything for your garden yet?
On a sidenote: will be heading up to the mountains soon to look for wild Morel mushrooms (last couple years have been a bust)
Also... peppers are doing fine but Mom's tomatoes are not doing well. This is the third season they seem to have a disease (that started when we used some crappy garden soil... if I had read reviews before buying it, I would have avoided it) It seems some plant diseases can stay in the soil for 3-4 years. It's a small garden and no where else to plant them. "New Zealand spinach" seeds have sprouted but it's cold and rainy today so they will go under a light until tomorrow.

I sure have just haven't had time to take pic's yet, my wife has been pretty bad lately physically so it has slowed me up but I do have 24 broccoli plants, 275 onion plants in and about 30 pounds of tader seed in. I have peppers that I grew from seed and maters from seed goin but not time here to put them in yet. Soon as I get some spare time I'll try to post pic.s

Glad your peppers are doin well and yes you haveta really watch soil for soil borne diseases, the better is worth the extra money. @gopher_byrd might be able to shed some light on the disease, he is studying to be a Master Gardener, sure he will help you but this week he is deep in study for a final so he might not see this for a short while.

Tips To Improve Seed Germination Outdoors

Sowing seeds directly into the soil and letting nature do the rest. It’s simple, and uncomplicated. Many of us learned to garden this way as children, sowing seeds with our grubby little fingers. We tucked seeds into the ground, forgot about them after a day or two, and then came back to see...

Since moving is not an option, consider grow bags or pots with quality soil. You can still trellis them in the bags. I would go with a minimum of 5 gallon, but would prefer 10 gallon bags/pots. Here's a good site for diagnosing https://ipm.ucanr.edu/ that's what the Master Gardeners use. No login required.
