My new carrot method
I love homegrown carrots and always get a good harvest. But sowing too many seeds is always a problem. This year I think I have come up with a solution--during the winter I bought a good amount of YAYA seeds, cut some 1" wide strips of tissue paper and Elmer's white glue. Spaced the seeds about 1 1/2 " apart. to make sure of germination I tested some of it early- good results. A few days ago I watered my raised bed and laid the tapes in some troughs, then covered the tapes with about 1/2" of soil- a little more water and now to wait for sprouts! I expect they will be happy little seedlings in a few weeks.
