What did you do in the garden today?

Checking my seed stash. Doing a germination test on some old spinach seed. I have a thought. Dangerous I know. If any sprout I may plant in a seed tray and transplant later. Our climate makes spinach difficult. A cold spring slows it down and the end of May it bolts. It is a race to get any to eat. Perhaps transplanting will help.

I try and try, once I had a great crop of spinach. I do a lot better with chard and kale.

Got the lawn mower out to mow over a rough area. Nothing growing yet. I started using PRI-G fuel additive and left the fuel in. Started first pull. No old gas issues.

Been watching garden videos. Took an interest in these fermented recipes for plant growth. They all seem geared toward mineral and trace elements. Even fermented wood ash. So I started a bucket to ferment. Supposed to jump start microbial in the soil.

When I found out how much more nutrients chard has over spinach, I threw my spinach seeds out! I can keep chard growing through all 4 seasons usually, this year excessively cold so lost it outside, but it grows indoors too. Have 2 growing in 2 gal. pots under grow lights and pull off leaves as needed. (kale too) I think I want to expand my winter indoor growing room, also known as my guest room. Hmmm, have company or healthy easy to harvest food all winter? What to do?! Bye bye company! Lol
