10th Annual Simple Cup Invitational Show

Kobo Gallery, Seattle OR

With heat-weary hopes pinned on the upcoming cooler weather, we started planting fall crop seeds back in August and have continued to do so every week. We start them in little plastic pots since the soil is full of eager harvester ants this time of year who industriously take any seeds they can find in the soil (which is just about all of them!) back to their nest for the long winter ahead.

When the seedlings have reached sufficient size, we transplant them into the garden. Once in the ground they are guarded by small plastic collars made of plastic punch cups with their bottoms cut off. Pressing these gently into the soil around each seedling helps deter hungry sowbugs and other small, herbivorous soil creatures.

It is important to get seedlings going early for a fall garden since our first frosts (in the Sonoran desert) can come by Thanksgiving. Our mild fall and spring growing seasons are excellent but short. Some vegetables survive a winter frost, such as kale and chard, but others will succumb. If it gets too cold we cover the garden with frost cloth.

Once the seedlings are big enough to be ignored by the sowbugs, we take the collars off and allow the young plants to grow freely. Our drip system is 1/4 inch line with emitters every 6 inches. The1/4 inch lines are connected to larger 1/2 inch lines.

We planted the seedlings in open areas near the still-productive summer vegetables like eggplant, basil and peppers.
