Fleabeetles usually come this time of year again but they have yet to cause that much mayhem even letting seedlings grow and such. Wahey! I did some tanglefoot trapping early on though perhaps the weather is just not ideal for them and last year's drought followed by a normal winter might have diminished numbersOttawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157796120640152479.post-79483817702186231292013-07-29T14:54:41.746-07:002013-07-29T14:54:41.746-07:00Worth a try!Worth a try!Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157796120640152479.post-27445986283924902552013-07-29T14:49:58.479-07:002013-07-29T14:49:58.479-07:00OG, I plnt them with radishes.

Could be the heavy seedling predation too as I used to just sow them and I seem to remember in my memory that I had to thin... anyhow, my old method was broadcasting and stamping but it doesn't work here. :( I'll try it again with a bit of grass clippings. All the rain we have been getting can't hurt ;)Ottawa Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486499450332482461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157796120640152479.post-76431089892503280722013-07-29T14:16:42.129-07:002013-07-29T14:16:42.129-07:00My best carrots come from summer seeding, but I do...My best carrots come from summer seeding, but I don't have particularly sandy soil. I water by hand from my rain barrels, but only til I see some seedlings, and only when I think of it. I usually have straw or grass clippings on top, but I don't plant deep. In fact, I sprinkle seeds on the surface and rake them in, so they are at varying depths. I pat them down pretty firmly so that they stand half a chance to wick up moisture from below.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09106200660390587077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157796120640152479.post-86387943244998310882013-07-29T09:26:16.351-07:002013-07-29T09:26:16.351-07:00 Interesting as always!
