RE: Early Homestead Errands, First Snow & #marketfriday
Very good post just like the one before Goldy!
These "Seedling peat pods" that you are talking about are also called "Jiffies" in the growing scene.
I always put seeds in batting with 2-3 drops of water and let them sprout in there. Then when the root was long enough I would put them carefully into a hole in the earth that I have sprayed with water 2-3 times.
I have had gardens in the past, but NEVER to this extent. I read so much about when to do this, how to prune, possible nutrient and watering schedules, etc. I have basically thrown myself feet first into producing a healthy garden for a healthier lifestyle.
The Jiffies or peat pods are one of the BEST gardening inventions! I have so many here. A local hardware and do-it-all store about 10 miles from me had them on sale a few months ago so I swooped in and scooped up about 200 pods; already planning for next year. They are a "no muss, no fuss" seedling growing system that I have come to appreciate.
So what? Sounds fucking great. You keep yourself busy with a great hobby. I like to work with and in nature as well.
Growing Cannabis indoors 3 years ago was one of the most fun things I ever did. Besides that, I spent a lot of time in nature as well.
It is pretty great! I do enjoy the solitary time and the way it reduces stress. A win-win for me.
Too cold here right now to enjoy the great outdoors. Barely 15-degrees and I am SO not going outside yet.
It is very cold yes.
Take cold showers and go outside anyway. It will help you to stay healthy and it will toughen you up.
