Today I'm planting some Lettuces and fall flowers. I also need to think of starting my fall crops from seeds. Where has the time gone? But we already have fall weather. It is cold and rainy here. I hope it warms up so my tomatoes can get ripe. But here are some ideas of what you can start from seed in the next few weeks.
Late July – Early August Sowing:
Carrots, Salad, turnips, Beets, Scallions, and Parsley
August - Early September Sowing: Spinach, Asian greens and Lettuce
September – Early October Sowing: Spinach, Broccoli, Cilantro, and Radishes
Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
