I decided today is the time to start some seeds for transplants. There are so many seeds that I can start some today (9-12-16) and plant some by seed in October as well. I have three 72 cell trays to start for transplants. Because of the comments on the curly leaf variety tasting so good, I'll plant two flats of it and only one flat of the broad leaf variety. I'm thinking that getting a month's head start should give us some to eat. I should mention that these cell trays will be inside with lighting (Like you start tomatoes and peppers.)
After the past couple months of solarization of the main garden - coupled with finding RKN in the raised beds too - I'm itching to plant something. I did get the black eyed peas turned under in the onion bed - I did that yesterday. I've read to turn in green manure a month before planting. I'm also thinking of tossing in some 10-10-10 fertilizer. Why? Because that's what I have a surplus of. Next year, I'll buy some high N fertilizer for greens.
