Quick Start on Spring Seeding?
Comments (8)I live in the Blueridge Mtns in Northern VA and put my seed down last Sunday - perfect timing with the rain we had this past week. I was orginally planning on waiting until mid April based on some advise that i got from a local farmer but the conditions were just too good to wait. It must be a little warmer down your way - now seems like a perfect time. I have a new home just finished this past Dec and have 50% new grass and 50% dirt. Based on the advise I received on this forum, I aerated first, seeded, and then rolled. I should have put starter fert down first but I did not have enough time since we made the decison at 6am on the day I started and I had to run out to get the seed - then 1 full day of tractoring and walking. The DW then spread the starter fert out this past Wed - 3 days after seeding. We have about 1.5 acres of cleared area where we want/need a lawn. I used Lesco Team Mates Plus which is a TTTF with some perenial rye and KBG - another recommendation I recieved on this forum. I posted the cultivars of that seed on this forum a few days ago. I was having trouble figuring out what seed to use and the pro's on this forum really helped me out. In areas where I have some erosion issues, I applied some additional annual rye which will pop fast but only last this season. I will plant over in the fall. I also used Lesco starter fertizer which is an 18-24-12 25% PPSCU mix. The spring is not the best time to seed but I have no choice since I still have to close out my project with the county and they want to see an established lawn. That is why I went with the team mates plus - it has some PR in it that should pop fast to help with the erosion control and help hold in the fescue seed. AFter I get things going good I may switch over to the Lesco Transiiton Blend which doesn't have the PR in it. Best of luck with our lawns. I think today might be a great day to get your seed down, the sun is shinning up here....See Morequick start but rapid slowdown
Comments (2)I used to start my cukes early but I've stopped doing that. One year my husband planted the early start ones in their own trench. in another trench beside them he planted seeds. In 3 weeks the seed started ones had caught up to the early started ones. They both flowered and set fruit at the same time. When I thought about it it made sense to me. When you transplant it takes a plant a week or 2 for the plant to settle in get used to the light and soil and start growing. The seeds germinate and just keep on growing. Now we just plant the seeds and it gives me more room under the lights and in the greenhouse not to mention the cost of seed starting mix. So don't despair if you don't have success with your plants. You can always plant seeds As for your cukes I would say the temperature is too cool. Tomatoes while liking a warmer temperature will tolerate a cooler temperature. Cucumbers however like warm soil. If you have a heating mat put it under them or try to raise the temperature somehow....See MoreJava Quick Start
