					<description><![CDATA[So, let&#8217;s discuss those direct sows a bit more. There&#8217;s some significant differences between how we treat direct sows compared to how we&#8217;ve been raising seeds indoors. The most significant change is with our watering. It&#8217;s important to leverage top watering techniques, typically from a spray hose, at least until those plants get initially established. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, now that we&#8217;re a week or so past our last frost, it&#8217;s a good idea to revisit those direct sows! Just like with indoor germination, there&#8217;s bound to be some seeds that don&#8217;t germinate in our outdoor sowing. If you&#8217;re growing intensively, it&#8217;s always a good idea to swing back around and &#8220;fill in [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some of our direct sows are just starting to emerge! We&#8217;re happy to see a few radish poking their heads out. That means we aren&#8217;t far from having home grown produce! One of the skill sets direct sow gardeners need to develop is the ability to identify their intentionally sown seeds against native seeds (aka [&#8230;]]]></description>

With almost all the direct sows, you can easily get them in the ground a couple of weeks before your last frost.

					<description><![CDATA[When people think about growing root veggies, usually they think of things like carrots, radish or beets. On the more obscure front, you have this odd veggie called a Rutabaga! Rutabaga and turnips are closely intertwined. Essentially, Rutabaga is a turnip that&#8217;s been crossed with a cabbage. Typically grown for its fleshy root, as you [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Our potatoes are finally starting to poke through the soil! It&#8217;s always a bit exciting to see our seed potatoes start to push greenery and the transformation from a root to a plant! We weren&#8217;t potato enthusiasts at all until we actually started growing them. For years, we figured they were cheap enough to buy [&#8230;]]]></description>

The distinctive look of carrot seedlings make them easy to pick out among weeds or other seeds that might try to compete with [&#8230;]]]></description>
