Seed Starting
Direct sow out in garden in late spring, once night time temperatures are steadily above 10°C. Sow seeds 1/4inch deep in well drained soil in full sun. Seeds should germinate in 4 to 10 days. Thin seedlings to 10-14 inches apart in rows 20 inches apart.
We live and garden on ancestral territory of Algonquin Anishnaabeg People, forever territory of wild fauna & flora, cultivated lands of Irish and French settlers, and now beloved home of the junco seeds family (humans, chickens, dogs, sheep and cats)
