Direct Seeding Carrots and Brassicas

In 2022, I trialed direct seeding some of my fall brassicas. Not my most prized ones, but some. A brave step to discouple myself from my seed starting routine, an overdue time to question if I really need to seed starting everything indoors (duh, no, Meg, you don’t).

And what I found out was bok choy is the champion of every season, just like carrots and beets.

This surprised me. I direct seeded it a few times in summer and transplanted them around and we had bok choy for almost the entire season.

This video also highlights my carrot preparation and seeding, as well as how I thin my carrots, which I just did last week. And in another couple weeks I’ll be doing this exact same seeding and using burlap to keep the soil cool and moist to aid in germination.

Hope you find this timely and helpful.
