Newbie to WSing
Hey everyone! I've been lurking for a few days, reading all your tips and advice and FAQs and I think I'm ready to jump in to WSing with 2 feet :)
I haven't tried seed growing for a few years and when I did it before I just tried inside seeds without grow lights or anything, just planted in those awful peat pots and crossed my fingers. needless to say that was an utter failure.
This year I was fortunate enough to have a co-worker extend the offer to me to pick up to 10 seed packets from the annual Hardy Plant Society's seed exchange. I jumped at the chance to grow some otherwise $$/hard to find/ineteresting and 'things I'd want a lot of' perennials from seed. I didn't really like the idea of starting them inside given past experiences so I picked mostly SIS type seeds...or so I thought. Unfortuantely it appears as though I picked at least 4 plants that prefer cold moist stratification.
Then my husband caught some pepper inspiration at Lowes last weekend and we now have some 7 different kinds of peppers and 2 kinds of beans to try out.
So I thought I'd put my list of seeds on here and see if anyone has tips/suggestions or words of encouragement as I start my first official WS adventure :)
