Grammy-nominate- d 586-787- 6 im As-SU- U This week let me share my way for getting all to germinate well, espe- dally the carrot! I know of gar- carrot who have seed as many as three times in one season to try and get a good stand. Seeds need consistent mois- ture to break dormancy. Its vi- tal to "keep the seed bed moist", HERES HOW TO DO IT; after having made the shallow fur- rows (rows within the wide-bed- ), lightly spray the entire bed two or three times a day for three or four days. To have these rows well moistened is important. The following steps are the keys to 100 germination! At least the day before or anytime previ- ous to seeding, place near the planting area, a large tub filled 34 full with peat moss. Add water and mix well until the moss is wet and dark, don 7 fail to do this important step. After seeding all the planned rows, squeeze lightly, a handful of wet peat moss and lay it on tip of the seeds, filling the furrow at least 1 12" deep down each row. After placing a few handsful go back and press the moss lightly into the furrow (I use my index and middle finger doubled with palm up). This puts the seed in good contact with the soil. When all the rows fool-pro- of re-so- are filled with moss, with a very s light spray, wet the full row. The soil where the seeds are is now insulated from ing winds and sun, and the moss maintains the moisture the seed needs to germinate. The dark color of the moss absorbs the suns heat but doesnt crust. By sprinklinglightlyoverthetotal bed each evening the moss e tains moisture for the following day. Even though the top may appear dry, the looseness of the moss allows even the spindly shaft of the carrot to easily push wide-seed- dry-dene- rs re-th- through, By mixing radish seed with other seeds in the same row. You can have two crops and be able within days to know where the rows are and weed between them. The radishes will be gone by the time the other vegetables are sizing up. . TQf . DdCifCOUntrV" With the ever-increasi- . Ifln tnPS ng backcountry use, National park Service officials are nouncing changes in the an-Ticke- ts backcountry permit system at Zion National Park. According to Superintendent Don Falvey, the changes include a new fee and inclusion of the Left Fork of North Creek (locally known as the Subway). Effective Sunday, April 20, there will be a $5 per person, per night fee to obtain a backcountry permit," said Falvey. These new fee permits are required for all overnight trips anywhere in the park, as well as both day and overnight trips through the entire length of the Zion Narrows. Based on current snow pack and stream flows, it wil be June before Narrows permits will be available. The new backcountry fee is in addition to 1 the usual park entrance fee. Backcountry fees may be obtained at either the Kolob Canyons visitor center or at the main canyon visitor center near Springdale. Another change this year is the requirement for the Subway. While overall park visitation grows at about 4.5 per, year, backcountry use has grown by over 30 over the last two years, "said Falvey. Park officials state that a maximum of 50 day hikers will be allowed per day in the subway to preserve the primitive character of the popular hike and minimize damage from heavy use. At least for this year, there will be no fee for this self-registrati- on self-registrati- done at, the trail which can be |
