Spring Planting Soil Temps 7b
Went through my seed yesterday; using the seed I have on hand; this will be my early planting; starting with spinach tomorrow. Hoop house soil temp 47 degrees. Hoop house soil appears to be about 10F (-12C) warmer than historic averages. Will put me 30 days ahead of typical planting.

@Julianne Anderson We had a little discussion about that https://www.skool.com/oasis-builders-8012/seed-selections-1 Do you understand the difference between GM and Hybrid seeds?

@Julianne Anderson That is correct... Just making sure you understand that Hybrid seeds are not GM, they are protected pollination using natures system of artificial selection. Market farmers use hybrid seeds so they will have a stronger crop depending where they are growing... basically only plants with a certain trait are allowed to pollinate each other... still a process of nature but human guided. I have some hybrid seeds in this springs mix because much of my training has been through market farmer mentorship. I will be buying all heirloom going forward per our community consensus... if you grow for resale, hybrid is a benefit helping you have a higher yield... if you are growing for yourself and have a strong soil food web in place to promote plant immunity, then heirloom are the best.
Today's Affirmation
Permaculture teaches us to observe. We should move like winter turning into spring. Slow and distinctive. We observe first, then act with purpose.
