Starting seeds outdoors

No germination greenhouse

Low tent over raised bed!

Skylight for raised bed

As an experiment, I am sowing directly in the raised bed in November - only a number of plants that germinate in cool soil (about 45 degrees). I'll see if I can grow in the off-season!

  • Spinach ()Winter Bloomsdale)
  • Radish (Rudi and Champion)
  • Cabbage (Promax)
  • Carrot (Nantes Supreme from Burpee)
In 2021 I did a similar experiment. See: Winter gardening

That early experiment reset my expectations about growing in the winter, even in an enclosed structure - but here I go again.

Skylight for raised bed

I placed one of the skylights donated by a friendly neighbor at the edges of the raised bed several inches above the soil.

Comparison data

I have a data logger in the center of the garden to measure and log the ambient temperature.
