Branching Out congrats on the great success on your sweet-peas sprouting so fast. And the peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, and zinnias. It’s gonna be a great harvest this fall for you.

Carrot Sowing Day! I got out my handy dandy carrot seed template and started flinging seeds. This spring I'm trying a new variety called Goldfinger. Voles ate most of my carrots a couple of years ago, so I seeded this patch in a large cement ring that I hope will deter them.

I'm also risking an early planting of bush beans. Most are planted using Bio360, a thin black covering made of cornstarch that will keep things warmer and drying while the seedlings get established. It's been a couple of days, and so far so good.
