Kale Emergence


Our first mini blocks of Kale are emerging. The beauty of using soil
blocks is that unlike direct seeding, where you have to plant multiple
seeds in order to guarantee emergence - then thin out the extra if all
seeds emerge, we will only transplant the strongest emerged seeds...
and will not have to thin. These seeds were planted less than a week
before this picture was taken, and have been sitting on a propagation
pad that keeps the blocks warm to encourage emergence.
