New winter sowing method without the fuss
What if the plastic-milk-jug method of winter sowing isn’t the only way—or even the best way—to get a jump start on the garden year? While other gardeners were cutting up containers and buying potting soil, I tried out a simpler, cheaper approach that might actually work better….
Container winter sowing: Why I was skeptical
If you’ve been hanging out in gardening spaces online in the last few ye

| This felt very early-Ali-Hazelwood (in a good way) and I have a soft spot for Tasmania so very much enjoyed spending some extra time there. It did, however, make me very, very glad I didn't go into academia... ...more | |

| I listened to the audio version of this while driving, so I took in perhaps 75% of it. It was very easy to dip in and out of as my attention wandered. Easy listening which left me with a few tidbits to follow up on. Very little about the nature of th ...more | |

“How will you know if your pollinator population isn't up to par? If you find cucumbers fat at one end and skinny at the other, baby summer squash that are rotting at the blossom end, blackberries with only a few plump lobes, or lop-sided apples with a big side and a little side, your garden isn't seeing proper pollination. In some cases, inadequate pollination can be due to bad weather during bloom time, but if you notice problems, your first step should be to ensure that you're providing the proper habitat for wild pollen movers. (There's not much you can do about a cold spring.)”

“As you can probably tell by now, I'm a very hands-on incubationist, so the advice in this section will fly in the face of conventional wisdom. However, as long as you keep the humidity and temperature at the right levels using the tips in the last section, you can be as hands-on as you want with no ill effect. In fact, helping chicks when they need it will increase your hatch rates and decrease your angst as a chick struggles and then perishes in the shell. On the other hand, I wouldn't recommend helping chicks out of the shell unless all of the following criteria apply to you: You have some sort of critical care unit prepared. Chicks you help out of the shell are likely to be weak and will need some extra time in a warm spot where they can't be picked on. ”
