xdrix i'm pretty sure they will germinate better at warmer soil temperatures, i cannot give any upper limits though because i've not grown them enough yet to see how they work. right now i have two varieties of adzuki beans to grow for this coming season and one kind are early and small seeds and the others are commercially purchased and larger seeds and i have no idea how well they will grow. i'm hoping to interplant and get them to cross. i don't have any other similar varieties here growing so they should be the only two involved in this experiment.

My garden will basically be like last year. This year I'm planning to grow Spaghetti Squash, to store and eat. I plan to grow and save seeds from string beans and flax (the tall kind for linen fabric).
I am trying German Butterball potatoes for the first time. They have poisonous 'berries' that I can save true potato seed from. My understanding is to save the 'baby potatoes' for a exact clone of the plant, since the true potato seeds may not grow up to be the exact same as the 'parent plant'. I will try to substitute a thin wire in place of string for securing the trellises this year.

Well the coronavirus pandemic may have stepped up a lot of gardenng efforts , I am more cognizant this year to get in my fall /winter plantings early enough to make some headway as I live in BC and we import about 80percent of our fresh food from California and the drought situation there is weighing heavy in my thoughts . I believe fresh greens are going to be really expensive next winter so I am planning for coldframes over my rows inside my greenhouse to try to grow swiss chard , kale etc. here in British Columbia

For the dry climate the better green herb is for me the aragula! I try under cold frame rhe letuce and the chicoria.
The letuce is early!
