Planting Tips
- Soak your big seeds in water before you plant. (Cuts 3-5 days off your germination time.)
- Don’t soak if it looks like you are going to have cool and wet weather. (The seeds rot)
- The size of the seed determines how deep you put the seeds in the soil.
- Do 4 beans around a beanpole.
- Mark the row out, do a shallow trench and then poke the hole, put the seed in, tamp it down and cover it up.
- The seeds need to stay moist. Water by hand, soaker hose (best watering), overhead watering or plant before the rain.
- Some starters don’t do as well as direct sews. Tomatoes and peppers need to be transplanted.
