Been looking at the Hoss seeder. Love the old school look and durable build. (Amish made handles too)

Pretty good review here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7czsne_nSk

All kinds of things to plant in July. For me, lettuce, Asian greens, Bok Choy, collards, carrots and onions. Just ordered some small turnips, Chinese cabbage and Chinese broccoli. Hoping the Chinese versions will grow here where the standard types won't due to soil acidity. I'm trying alternatives of everything before I start liming, every three years, forever. Average soil in China must be more acidic than the average soil in the US because the Chinese versions of veggies do better for me than the standard American varieties.

I need to remember this part

If planting in an unheated hoophouse or low tunnel, you can plant 2–3 weeks later than the date recommended.

Technically, it would be better to just plug in an adjusted first frost date of 2-3 weeks later than actual - make it Oct 18 or something. Like this:

Now I'm not late except for starting collards in trays 4 weeks before TS date of 7/22.

If anyone wants me to plug in their first frost date and take a screenshot or the results, lemme know.

I had one that belonged to my Grandpa. All wood and metal and hand-made. I donated it to The Seed Savers Exchange when I worked there - we used it in window displays at our Monroe Street store and now Diane uses it at the Welcome Center at the farm in Decorah, IA.

I’ve visited, ‘my plow’ twice so far. :)
