And I'm also making my own seed tape. I used to think seed tape was stupid until I planted a 15' row of perfectly spaced carrots and radishes. Not only did it take two hours to do it was cold and it started to rain halfway through...and I was determined to get them planted so I
stayed out there freezing until I was finished. Takes me about the same time to mark and glue seeds to a long strip of newspaper, but at least that time isn't going to be spent out in the cold or being wet.
Boy next year I've got to start my own seed. I made the mistake this year by buying all plants. Cost a small fortune plus the added costs of having someone break it up for me, then having to buy new soaking hoses. But, I'm learning. I just hope after being out this much expense, the garden does well.
