Good luck on not overproducing seedlings. I sure can't do it. Maybe we should start an OSA group. (Over Seeders Anonymous)---ken

LOL I've never had trouble with too many seedlings.
DeleteWe do seedling swaps and donations at our church.
And we have garden plots available as long as you do your promised hours of hours of work. No free loaders.

One of the fund-raisers our youth group does is to sell nursery plants in the spring. I don't want to compete with them.

ReplyDeleteHow do you keep the worms / cabbage moths out of the broccoli? I tried bug sprays, and soaking out the worms after harvest, but finally gave up.
