3. Planting

Be sure the row width (check see packet) is not hard by checking with garden fork

Any area too hard should be loosened, organic material added, and tilled.

For the plant row, create a furrow, apply a light application of compost and transplant start such as High Octane, till with a mini-tiller or work it in by hand.

Tranplants:
Do the planting (up to the first set of leaves to prevent the plant for falling over and putting a permanent kink in the stalk).

Seeds:
Rake smooth the row
Using the rake handle create a depression
Seed
Cover with fine compost and some soil - per packet recommendations

All new plantings are to be treated like babies - constant attention and never let to go in need!!
