    Lots of great tips in this video. Thank you. I felt the same about kale. It's easy to grow but we didn't like it as much as spinach. We found if we chopped it up smaller and mixed it into different recipes that we liked it much better. We also found recipes for cooking it down into hot salads and we liked that also.

    • @RainbowGardens
      @RainbowGardens  Před 8 lety

      Spinach grows best for me when I direct seed it into the soil where i plan to grow it. Your climate is probably very warm and I imagine you have only a few months where spinach so I would definitely try to start it indoors, then move it out. When you move it out, throw a few more seeds into the soil so you can test to see how it does for you.

      I start only a few plants indoors. Check out this video on which one's I start inside. czcams.com/video/xcAYbYRZBhw/video.html Most plants, I put the seed directly into the soil. If you start seeds indoors, make sure you use a seed starting mix and don't reuse potting soil, top soil, or anything like that. Only use seed starting mix. Don't water too often, keep the small seeds misted with a spray bottle, and water the larger seed with a small watering can.

  • @mumbaibalconygardenerhobbies

    Hi Donna , you always mention you direct sow seeds after seeing your forecast and let rain do the watering for you . Has the rain caused seedling damage or death and you need to sow more seeds than you require to account for the seedling loss ? I have no experience with rain in my garden as our monsoons is my off season with almost zero sun . I do not have any rains in my growing season.

    • @RainbowGardens
      @RainbowGardens  Před 7 lety +1

      Hi There!
      Rain and the Square Foot Garden soil mix is perfect! The vermiculite helps so much, keeping the seeds moist until they sprout. Old seed is harder to sprout.
      I recall one time I had carrots up and growing and the weather was dry for a couple of weeks (I depend on rain), so the seedlings died. :( I really have not had a hard time with seedling damage/death as long as we get rain..

    • @bradthomas6272
      @bradthomas6272 Před 6 lety

      In many parts of the world the rainy season is winter which means too little sun light to raise crops and the dry season obviously means little to no rain.
      I'd recommend using soaker hoses to saturate your plot morning and or night. No soil splashing on your plants will minimize risk of disease and using it morning and night means more water is absorbed rather than evaporated.
