RE: Making My Lunch - January 5, 2020 @goldenoakfarm
45 seedling trays, now that's a lot of seedlings. I know that many will not make it, but if even half of the seedlings thrive, and are strong enough to plant, your garden must be huge @goldenoakfarm.
I start about 1200 - 1500 seedlings most years. I do not have a greenhouse, they are all in my kitchen or living room windows, with grow lights. As soon as they are big enough they go to the cold frame. So I could easily use 80 trays in a season.
I have 2 veg gardens, one 60' x 43' and the other 36' x30'. We grow most of our own food for the year. I also have a 50' x 37' herb garden and start stuff for that too.
I have sandy loam here and it doesn't hold water long. This makes germination poor. So I start nearly everything I plan to grow, except carrots and beans and peas. I also started a lot of flowers for the (used to be) 37 flowerbeds.
So they get used, most years.
