I'm still not convinced the Ruth Stout/ Fukuoka thing of just scattering seeds works, at least not in the middle of heat and drought.
it does, I scattered broccoli, kale, lettuce, and purple bok choy about 2 weeks ago. so far everything is up except the lettuce( usually comes up in october though) havent had any rain since may. I water once a week.

But the growing conditions in NorCal the past couple of weeks have been completely different from those the eastern half of the country has been stuck with for--what?--three months now. Record heat. Record number of days with no rain. Then, suddenly, torrential rains. Etc.
