Keep in mind, we&#8217;re experienced growers that have probably grown 15,000+ plants from seed over decades! Exhibit A, one entire tray of onions [&#8230;]]]></description>

So, let&#8217;s talk about why we do this, the benefits we see and what our general goals are! This effort is about flexibility. We still have about a month to go to our last frost.

Just like with humans, plants can experience a &#8220;sun burn&#8221; and if it becomes too severe, it can be lethal to the plant! The telltale sign of sun burn is that the plant&#8217;s leaves turn white or creamy colored. It usually starts at [&#8230;]]]></description>

One such example for this season, we are trying to grow 4 O&#8217;Clock&#8217;s this year. We had heard about them, but we just never prioritized them. [&#8230;]]]></description>

We&#8217;re not huge fans of buying more gear (lights, tables, timers, etc) to deal with season-specific situations.

Some things aren&#8217;t entirely straight forward, such as removing a plug from a seeding tray. If you simply grab the seedling and try to pull it out, there&#8217;s a very good chance you&#8217;ll cause damage. At best, [&#8230;]]]></description>
