Q&A

Why do you touch the seedlings in the greenhouse?

Touching the seedlings in a controlled environment like a greenhouse helps them grow stronger. It simulates outdoor conditions and prevents them from becoming weak.

Are the tomato seedlings growing well?

Yes, the tomato seedlings, especially the Wild Boar Farms variety, are growing well. They will soon be sturdy enough to stand up on their own.

What herbs will you be starting in the coming weeks?

I will be starting various herbs, including basil, thyme, and oregano, in the coming weeks. These herbs are already perennial in my garden, but I like to start new plants for continuous harvest.

Why are you starting cucumbers from seeds this year?

I have had issues with cucumbers in the past, as they do not like their roots to be disturbed. By starting them from seeds and transplanting them when they are already established, I hope to have better success this year.

How do you deal with deer in your garden?

Deer have been a challenge in my garden, especially with asparagus beds. I plan to protect the beds by fencing them off or using other deterrents to prevent deer from causing damage.
