RE: Getting close to planting time for these seed trays

in HiveGarden24 days ago

Your veggies are looking great, how we choose when to transplant is when we see the roots coming out the bottom of the tray they are in but we are in Florida and winter has been over for a couple of months, and we only leave the shade cloth over them for a couple of weeks when we first put them out in the sun, this is to keep the sun from burning them.

I agree with @livinguktaiwan that you need plenty of soil and carrots like loose soil. Good luck, it looks like you are on the right track to having plenty of veggies to eat.

Thank you, ah good point. I think many roots are poking through the bottom. I have not checked yet.. Just waiting for the risk of frost to be over. Just a few days away from that now.

Oh okay, I was not sure how long to leave the shade cloth on them. Last year they never got a chance to get established. So maybe this year they will do better with a little protection.

Yeah she made a good point, I was using mostly mulch and wood chips. And indeed it was not fine enough for the plants.
