Timeline for Planting
Several seeds germinate now indoors and then transplant in April or May. For example, start indoors with some herbs like rosemary, oregano, basil, and thyme. Vegetable seedlings like kale, eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes also reach good size before it’s time to transplant them. Plant hardy vegetables like radishes directly outside. Add a long list of favorites and get planning for canning, dehydration, and storage.
Irrigation
Several water sources will help with your farming and ranching capabilities. Previous owners have used a ditch system, flood irrigation, water rights, head gate, and gated pipe to service the property.
