Just to add to this thread to help show the results as they develop. The first one I already posted and was taken the night of 8/10. This one was barley out of its seedling stage. Here it is tonight 3 days later. Thick growth, nice dark green color and growing nicely. I hope to start harvesting leaves for sandwiches in about 10 more days. Just wanted to add this pic. I rotate them every couple of days so I rotated this one early this morning. Im adding it now because basically that is the same plant from last night (no wait days then post saying it was from days ago). I just think this pic shows off better how much it has grown over the last 3 days. My little baby is growing so quickly...and man I cant wait to eat her!

Doubt you'll find sets anywhere right now. You could always start seed indoors now though.

I haven't. It doesn't look bad at all. I checked out their site and label for the product and don't see where the Beneficial bacteria and fungi is from. It's a good list of ingredients though. But pricey at $11 for 3lbs. But I don't buy packed fertilizer as an all in, all done for my program typically. You have a large garden, and with that list I think you would be better off (cheaper) buying the following or similar and using:
Texas Tee(similar to Trifecta) (use any leftover on the flowerbeds and lawn) $35ish for 40lbs
Epsom salt (it's listed on the Trifecta and cheap over the counter) $5 for 5lbs or close to it
Mykos Mycorrhizae (Buy from Mykos and not Amazon to get the freshest(non expired) and the best) <this must make contact with the roots. You just can't sprinkle it on the soil. Best added at planting seeds or transplanting. $25ish a LB, but not much is needed and will store and last a couple years.

I think it will be a real good packaged product for a greenhouse. I like that it has azomite, alfalfa meal and Epsom salt in the mix.

Has anyone else here experienced a huge number of moths this year? They are all in my pantry, and if I don't keep every thing in a zip lock bag they get into flour, sugar and boxes of spaghetti. They even wiped out one of my 3 bee hives in my peach orchard.

They even wiped out one of my 3 bee hives in my peach orchard. I got an infestation of pantry/grain moths when I was raising cockatiels . Only way to keep 'em out of the food is an air-tight seal . Try the "pantry pest" traps at any big box store . They're glue traps with a pheromone bait . Or.....get some geckos . I don't know if that's what actually killed your hive . They might just be there cleaning up the mess . I defer to Derek for all bee questions .

With cooler temps and rain chances all week I planted some seeds this morning. Did Broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, spinach and lettuces: baby oak leaf, lollo rossa, arugula, rouge d'hiver and mesclun salad mix. First time growing any of this so we shall see how it goes.
