First Seedlings of the Season
Behold! The first indoor seed planting of the year! I’ve got lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, rosemary, spearmint, and onions.
With the weather being, for the most, part warmish, I thought I would do an experiment to see how early I can plant some crops indoors to transplant it. Ideally, I would have planted some broccoli, Cabbage and Lettuce every week for 3-4 weeks but that didn’t happen so I’ll just have less information to work with. But I’ll have something.
Some of these seedlings will get transplanted in a few weeks. My plan is to have row covers ready for when the frost gets too hard. Hopefully it will be enough to keep them from kicking the bucket.
I also made an impulse buy when I was at my local grocery store. They had a bunch of onion starts and I couldn’t help myself! Even though it was February, I put them in my cart, paid for them and took them home. And then I didn’t plant the poor starts for a couple of days. But! Here they are in the ground. I also surrounded them in straw because the temperature was going to be in the twenties.
In a couple weeks, I’ll get to plant peppers! The garden is coming alive little by very little. Here’s to spring!
