10/23/2020 – The hill was drawn three days ago and today a deep V-groove was made with the hoe. Dropped in 8-8-8 with Borax and raked the soil back over it.
In the south half, sowed Waltham 29 Broccoli (2019 seed) in the south end of Row 10.
- Used the PVC drop tube, dragging about 1″ deep while Mary dropped seeds in when I stopped about every 6″.
- Used the garden rake to pull soil on top of the seeds.
- Used the Chapin seeder’s back wheel to firm the soil over the seeds.
- Watered the row moderately.
Sowed Bloomsdale Spinach in the north half of that row.
- Pulled a 1″ deep V slot with the hoe. Used the PVC drop tube and Mary dropped in seeds every 2-3″ as best we could guess.
- Used the garden rake to pull soil on top of the seeds.
- Used the Chapin seeder’s back wheel to firm the soil over the seeds.
- Watered the row moderately.
These seeds had not been soaked. The hope is we will get one or more of the scattered thunderstorms that are predicted for this afternoon.
