We got great germination rates! I’m feeling totally comfortable starting a little later. I think we will be right on time. Plastic was taken off the seedling trays and now a large plastic sheet will cover the whole table creating a greenhouse effect. Don’t let the small table fool you. 210 pepper and tomato seedlings will have to be up potted in a couple weeks.

Late, but as promised. Here’s is my set up for my basement greenhouse. Right now the goal is germination. I laid a heating blanket then heavy plastic on a large table. I used hook screws in the ceiling floor joists and hung string with an adjustable knot I used the chain shop lights with hooks attached to the bottom of the string. For now my lights will lay on top of the seedling tray for speedier germination. Sometimes I use plastic wrap on top of my trays to create a moist environment and lessen the time I need to use a spray bottle on top. Just be careful of how close and what kind of lights you are using on top of them. Once we have germination, I will remove the plastic. I will thenuse heavy plastic to create a tent over the lights and insert a small fan for airflow. This will keep any type of mildew forming and make the stems more hardy. The fan should be moved and each section of plants have an opportunity to “move” with the air and strengthen.

Thank you so much for the prayers for my dad. Every day is better! And thank you for the support and patience while I have been away from the farm. Macie is taking some leads while I am away to keep things rolling for the spring season. She will be helping with Facebook and bringing some fresh Ideas to the farm. I’m super excited to work with her!

Since I’m a few days away from starting my hot weather plants, I pulled out some pics from two years ago. This is my basement setup. I used shop lights with chains. I string the chains to the rafters so I can raise them as my plants grew. I covered a ping pong table with a heating blanket and thick plastic I placed my trays on top of that. I cut clear trash bags and placed them on top of the lights. I sliced the plastic to fit around the chains and then taped them back. I inserted a small fan inside the makeshift greenhouse facing up. I move the fan to different corners as needed. This helps the stems of the seedlings become hardier. It also prevents fungus/mildew. I turned the heating blanket on twice a day or whenever I thought about it. The tomatoes and peppers love the heat! I’ll show you all the steps when I get mine going!

Is truly is INEXPENSIVE and EASY to grow your own plants. This Is literally the best thing you could be teaching your family right now. Today we started onions! I start by mixing seed starting mix with warm water. I soak it well. Then I squeeze remaining water out and fill my cells. For onions, I use smaller cells. I place two onion seeds in each pod. Then I place plastic wrap on top. This creates a greenhouse. I will keep the plastic on until the seeds start to sprout. I spray the soil with a water bottle once it starts to dry. Never let your soil get dry on top. It could stunt germination. My tip for quick germination…keep lights very close to the tray and don’t turn them off. This will keep them warm.

Stay tuned. Tomorrow I will give a list of what you need to get started!

This has been my favorite and best method of gardening. Everything was naturally fed and my vegetables were large and beautiful.

No-dig gardening is a simple and effective method of growing plants without disturbing the soil. Instead of digging, the ground is covered with layers of organic matter, such as compost or mulch. This approach is particularly popular among organic vegetable growers.

Benefits of No-Dig Gardening

1. Preserves Soil Health
By avoiding soil disruption, no-dig gardening maintains the natural ecosystem of microorganisms, fungi, and worms that nourish plant roots and improve soil structure.

2. Supports Carbon Sequestration
Keeping the soil undisturbed helps trap carbon, preventing its release into the atmosphere and contributing to environmental sustainability.

3. Enhances Drainage
This method improves water absorption and retention, ensuring moisture is available near plant roots where it's needed most.

4. Reduces Weeds
Applying mulch in the first year minimizes w**d growth, making them easier to control over time.

5. Saves Time and Effort
No-dig gardening eliminates the need for labor-intensive digging, making it an ideal choice for busy gardeners.
