When smack dab in the heart of summer’s heat, it’s hard to think about fall planting. But, this year, I was determined to get some seedlings started for planting in late September.
We seeded kale, broccoli, and radicchio and they're already popping up. There’s another flat of endive, cos (Romaine), and Italiko radicchio that’s a few weeks ahead.
The flats are moved from the greenhouse each morning and covered with a shade cloth cloche, so they get just the right amount of light and not too much heat. We bottom water at this stage to prevent damping off. They return to the greenhouse every night for protection against heavy rain and marauding night critters.
