So I bought some wildflower mixture, and they recommend to thin/blend with sand so you can see where you broadcast and go see it easier. So I took one step further and added clover as well.

I have 2 wildflower mixes, 10gs of each, I know it’s probably not enough to get a dense lawn, but that’s also why I thinned it clover that I’ve already started turning the lawn over to.

So I took about 1/2 of one of wildflower packets and mixed it with 1 scoop of clover seed and 5 scoops of play sand. Gonna broadcast my entire front lawn, ther grass isn’t too tall yet, although I should mow to the lowest setting first.

Anyways follow along for updates on this adventure!

Spent the day playing around with little bolts to put this together. Should extend my growing window by a month, won’t be able to extend end of season I think though.

Still not out of the woods for frost, but I transplanted the non hardened broom corn and planted some more seeds with them. I also transplanted a couple Marigold and Nasturtium starts with some seeds as well.

I left some space between the tall ornamental grasses as I’ve gotten a cold frame to install on the block above this narrow bed.

Consequences of still going hard, but not being able to install a greenhouse this year. These have taken over two 3x3 grow tents and then some.

There’s more germing on some heat mats too!

These are a collection of flowers; marigolds, aster, lupins, nasturtiums, straw flower, corn flower, decorative grass.

There is also for veggies; peppers (9 types), tomatoes (9 types), onions and leeks.

On the heatmat, there’s the 4-6 week starts, so cucumber, melons, more flowers and some cucamelon.

It’s my understanding that a bunch of root vegetables like carrots, daikons, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, etc. all grow their first year to store energy for the second years seeding.

Parsnips and turnips/rutabaga iirc say to harvest after a frost or two to sweeten them up, so I missed a bunch.
