SEPTEMBER TIP TUESDAY: START YOUR VEGGIE SEEDS.
If you solarized your veggie garden in August, it is time to start sowing seeds. If you fear it is still too hot, start them in a protected area as plugs, and move to the garden next month. By using seeds, you can get much more variety than from baby plants.
