[oops ... meant to post on 27th not 20th thread - pardon previous post!]

I am absolutely horrible at planting/spacing seeds, especially if they’re tiny and a lot of them are. If they’re too close together (which happens a lot), then I have a hard time bringing myself to thin out the plants. Sigh. My radishes aren’t that great because I didn’t thin them & if my onions were doing anything, they’d have the same problem.

Like a bolt out of the blue, it dawned on me that maybe I could make ‘seed tapes’ so I ‘binged’ the topic and came up with two decent links for starters. Reading the comments was instructive as well .... I think I’m going to try this out!

Make your own seed tapes:

Another one that looks even easier:

I’m doing a fall garden so I’ll find out before next spring if it works for me or not.

Thanks for the links. I tried making my own, but they didn’t turn out. I think it was non viable seeds though.
