Let’s see those strawberry patches.

First time with a grow light. Tomatoes have sprouted but some look dead (burnt?). Is my light too low? How high should it be? I’ve been running it for 12 hours daily.
Should I pot some more seeds just in case?

Man, when those things start running you won't be able to see the bottom
I'm redoing mine now and I'm putting a single row of plants. Once they run I'll have double the plants by next year.

Did a little weeding today and filled in some gaps in the carrots, lettuce, and kale that got burned in the Christmas freeze.
Tomatoes and Peppers are up!

What did you do to get those onions growing so well? Mine came up then all died.

No clue. That water is turned off. I use mushroom compost. Maybe that’s it.

Everything I’ve read says to grow strawberries as an annual in south Louisiana. The plan is to pull them out after fruit production ceases.

It looks like they just have the seed husk still stuck on. That happens pretty often. They usually shed them on their own. But if they don't you can try using an eye dropper to wet the seed husk to make it more pliable. Give it about 5 - 10 minutes to absorb the water and then you can try manually removing them. You'll have to be very gentle otherwise you may break the seedling at the stem.

Looking good!
I haven't checked on mine all week. It's always dark when I leave for work, and dark when I get home from work.
Hopefully I get home early today and can go check on things. I know for sure I have to harvest some carrots.

Yeah woke up this morning to more leaves. Was able to flick off a few of them. Thanks!
I sort of panicked yesterday

Creoles, California Wonders, and jalapenos planted

My seeds came in from Harris Seeds.
I'm building my raised bed, filling it with "Mel's Mix," and sowing the kale and swiss chard seeds next weekend!
"Mel's Mix" is 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 compost.

Where can one buy compost (different varieties?) and vermiculite?
Posted on 1/23/23 at 10:22 pm to meeple
I’ve purchased vermiculite from Walmart. I would say I’m pass the crazy stage of gardening bc I make my on compost. I have chickens, goats, one cow, and rabbits. Between all the animal manure, bedding, veggie scraps, and leaves from the yard, I make a decent sized pile every year. I just top dressed a small side garden of mine with it. Looks beautiful.This post was edited on 1/23/23 at 10:26 pm

I am going to go to my local farm supply store to get it. If not, you can order vermiculite off of Amazon.

Started thinning them down and gave them a little bit of fertilizer. So far so good.

Stopped at the hardware store and picked up the seed potatoes for this year. Going with Red Pontiac and White Kennebec for the bulk of them. One small bag of purples and some russets to try will round out the potato row.
