Seedlings Approacheth
March 20, 2012
So last year our garden did alright- it kept us stocked in produce for a large portion of the year. But it would have been totally KICK BUTT if I had started seedlings. Which I didn’t. However, this year I got on top of it and started all of them. I’m hoping to get some good starts in pots so that I can plunk them in and get a ways ahead this year.
Our starting lineup includes:
Cherry tomatoes
Um..red tomatoes
Yellow tomatoes
Banana peppers
Bell pepers
Cantaloupe
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Arugula
Rosemary
Basil
Dill
Zucchini
Radishes
Carrots
Beans
Other beans
We used a combination of peat pots and egg cartons. The plan is to get shoots and replant them in to pots once big enough. They’re living out in our garage until I’m a little more certain it will stay nice out. Colorado “winter” is weird that way.
Oh, and update on last year’s garden — despite snow, sleet, COLD…we STILL have parsley. Send me your address if you want some. Seriously.
