Fingertip Planting

Wondering how deep to plant your seeds? Try the "fingertip method" by poking a hole . . .

• the depth of the fingernail on your index finger for lettuce, Spanish onions, and radishes.
• the depth of your first knuckle for cabbage, carrots, beets, cucumbers, and squash.
• the depth of your second knuckle for bush or pole beans and corn.
