We performed autopsies on the losses, expecting blight. As best we could tell, though, the evidence led us down an entirely unexpected path. Ultimately, we concluded that we experienced industrial contamination, caused [&#8230;]]]></description>

But, doing so is one of the major keys to operating a frost-free, semi-heated greenhouse! The most impactful thing you can do is add a secondary layer to the greenhouse. Each layer increases efficiency, a lot! Perhaps surprisingly, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Like, full on shaking your fists at the sky and mumbling something about moving to Central Africa later this week. So, let&#8217;s put all this new white stuff in perspective! It&#8217;s not all that uncommon for us to see snow fall in April, even [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s talk about the time we spend growing our garden from seed! How is that time allocated? How much do we spend each day? Is it time consuming to grow from seed? Perhaps obviously, the amount of time we spend varies depending on what tasks lie before us. We do make it a point to [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some seeds require special treatments prior to sowing. Previously, we&#8217;ve discussed cold stratification, but there&#8217;s several others. Today, let&#8217;s discuss soaking! Occasionally, you run into a seed packet that says it&#8217;s best to soak the seeds for 12 to 24 hours. There&#8217;s no need to overcomplicate it, that means simply dunking your seeds in a [&#8230;]]]></description>

Six weeks to last frost is no joke, we&#8217;re now at the 90% point of everything we intend to sow this season, in the soil! Our indoor growing spaces are now bursting at the seams.

Some of you may have had some failures, it&#8217;s important to frame them correctly! We can&#8217;t say it enough here, but gardening and growing from seed are hard. Yet, you have to start somewhere. That&#8217;s usually a point of knowing almost [&#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>

If you didn&#8217;t know, northern birch can be tapped similar to maple trees, also allowing the tapper to produce birch syrup. We&#8217;ve tried our hands at this, quite a few times.

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>
