Tuesday, April 9, 2024: A day after the solar eclipse, which aligns with the biodynamic calendar, we begin sowing some of the seeds we purchased from True Leaf Market: tomatoes (Napoli & San Marzano), garlic chives, alyssum (easter bonnet mix), nasturtium (jewel mix), basil, and borage. We’ll save the carrots and beets for direct sowing. These plants have shown to be excellent companion plants by attracting pollinators, deterring pests, and intercropping with plants that either benefit or do not interfere with each other.
Seedlings are placed on a heat mat to encourage germination.
WEATHER: 7:30am 49ºF. Sunny Clear Skies. High today 80ºF
