I planted some turnip seeds at the end of summer to see if I can make use of Texas’ second growing season. The seeds have at least sprouted!
If the seedlings continue to do well I’ll have to thin them, as turnip seeds are very small and I had trouble distributing them evenly. I’m a little worried that I waited too long, but it has been so blazing hot I was afraid seedlings would just cook in the heat.
This is my Dad’s favorite seed jar, and my folks sent me one. I absolutely concur with my Dad’s assessment; this is neat. It is basically a jar with a built in hook and a stand so the jar can hang upside down to drain. The lid is metal mesh to allow the water through. A few times a day, you rinse the seeds and hang it back up to drain. I have my set on the back of the sink, so it is easy to remember. When the sprouts fill the jar, I put them in the fridge and start a new round. It has been a very good way to encourage me to eat salads.
I don’t have an Amazon affiliate (I should probably look into that), but here are the links to the jar and seeds I’ve been using.
