Yes. The Williams Tool System that Market Farm sells is primarily a spring
tine cultivator.

Hi:

Is anyone using a spring tine cultivator, like a Lely, and if so where'd you
get it?

Thanks,

Beth,



I used a Wells and Wade bag very similar to the one from Harris. Got mine
from Oesco (a little cheaper) and an excellent quality bag. It is really
larger than I would like, but can't get smaller. Had kids picking yellow
pear tomatoes all day with it. Works great for two hand picking. Open the
bottom and roll the tomatoes out into a case. I love it.

P.S. Anyone looking for a refrigerated truck for markets? Mine is for
sale, 1999 Isuzu 15 foot box with cold plate technology. Contact me off
list if interested.

I haven't forgotten your question...... I've been working on a response
to this which is succinct and complete without being wordy. Suffice to say
I'm doing a lot of editing. Bottom line it was a good meeting and I'm
trying to decide how best to put various pieces in place or in motion. More to
follow..... Kathryn Kerby

Kathryn,
How did part two of the conference go? Did the speakers answer your
many questions?

With the root tips appearing as you describe, I'd side with Bill regarding
drying out. Since I'm usually at work during the day at this part of the
season, I've had the yin-yang of too little not enough water to sprout
solanums on heat mats. Adding a gro-dome to the flats helps keep in enough
moisture that I find I have much better success on heat. That also seems to
help with the problem of them having enough moisture to sprout, but not
enough to get free of the seed cover after they pop out of the ground. Often
that can seem to hang on like glue and strangle them...or I rip their poor
little leaves trying to free them.

As you were describing the situation I asked myself the question you then
asked, about the seeds drying out. Unfortunately it's easy to do with
heating mats and I've done it myself. It's especially easy in a greenhouse
where sunlight hitting the tray can magnify the effects of heating mats. With bottom heat you can have media drying out underneath before the surface
dries out because the heat is driving moisture upwards.

Hello all,

I discovered this week that sweet peppers, tomatoes and eggplants that I
sowed 2-4 weeks ago have had very little or no germination. I cannot figure
out why this is happened. I have dug up some seeds and it appears that they
did not rot as I opened up the seed and the endosperm looks good and has
imbibed some water. There were a few pepper seeds that had a root radicle
sticking out that looked a bit rotten so maybe that flat got over watered
but that does not explain the tomato or eggplant seeds that appear to still
be viable but have not stuck out a root radicle. The later two crops appear
to have been sown too deeply so maybe this is the problem? Any thoughts? My
soil mix is 3 parts compost, 2 parts coco peat, and 1 part perlite. All the
trays are on a heating mat. Is it possible that the tomato and eggplant
seeds dried out and this stopped the germination process? I hand water so I
know I have cut it close sometimes but am usually good about not letting the
trays dry out while they are germinating. I would appreciate any thoughts on
why this has happened.
Thanks!

Amy

We can finally plant onions this weekend. But, the tops have grown a foot. We
are going to try and use our mechanical transplanter, but the tops are too long
to go through unless I trim them back. Can I do this? I know the tops are
trimmed before shipping, but we usually are able to plant right away. We doubled our order this year and there is no way we can crawl down the rows
setting 15,000 onions by hand. We are too far behind for that. We have to get them done this weekend. I'm feeling the stress!
